Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Usually X-ray will help to find the pathology. But I doubt you can get anything out of it. Cardiac origin pain also causes these symptoms. So get it ruled out with an EKG. If there is no trivial trauma then it could be arthritic pain only.

For that, you can take any anti-inflammatory or analgesic medications like ibuprofen or paracetamol.

Hope this information helps you sort out your problems. If you feel it’s helpful then kindly give me a user thank vote.
Happy Health!
Regards,
Dr. Archana
