Can Chest Pain Be Due To Soft Muscle Tissue Damage?
I was hit by a transport on January 14th and saw a surgeon who gave me a cortisone shot a few weeks a go. He also ordered a MRI with dye and I am waiting for that appointment. Also have chest pain and had an ECG last week and have to see a cardiologist this week. Could my pain be caused by soft muscle tissue damage? I am also a type 1 diabetic and have been one for 28 years (since the age of 12). My ECG showed some abnormalities. Very stressed out!!

Hi,
Cardiac chest pain is non localized & increase on exertion. It is not relieved by simple pain killers & steroids.
Yes muscle injury can cause chest pain but that is relieved by pain killers. So if that is so your chest pain is due to muscle injury.
If you have problem in your ECG, being a long time diabetic, you should have a stress test done to rule out any possible underlying heart disease.
Thanks
