thanks for your question
i completely understand your question

in my patients if there is a chest injury and they are having similar complaints inwould go for a chest xray first to rule out any -

rib fracture
pneumothorax
muscular injury

if everything would be alright i would prescribe some analgesics / NSAIDS to relieve pain and some enzymes that would help in healing the injury

thanks
you should visit a pulmonologist and discuss these points

feel free to ask more questions
