Dear patient,
Thanks for your concerns; although rare, something that needs to be ruled out would be a fracture or dislocation at the level of the rib cage, particularly sternal bone, given the history and initial mechanism of injury; a plain chest x ray would provide good definition of the bones.
Truly yours,
