How Can heaviness And Pain In The Chest Be Treated?
I hit my chest hard and heard a pop. It felt like s stabbing pain. Ever since, my left pec fibres feel like they are beating like after you lift weights and the fibres are rebuilding. My ribs or may be cartilage, at rib cage that sits on bra line in front is very tender. Did I break anything, tore cartilage or muscle? Hurts when I move on and off, can t sleep at night though.
