What Causes Unresolved Pain When Stretching Left Arm Overhead?

Hi , 3 weeks ago ; i have alittle pain when touching near my left rib cage and below the breast area. The pain is now gone , but when i stretch my arm high ; there's pain for the 2nd week. Now , being the 3rd week ; not much pain. However , i could feel that there's this vein or muscle i'm not sure; probably from beneath my left nipple attached to my left rib which seems to be stretched when i lift my arm ; and i could feel it. There's no vein on the other side of my rib. When i tend to press and pull the vein ; there's pain. Can i know what's going on ? Thanks.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your symptoms are characteristic of muscular spasm and muscular pain.
So apply warm water pad on affected.
Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Avoid sudden jerky movements.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 2 weeks.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
