Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since your CT scan is normal, no need to worry much for this chest pain.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain.
1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid movements causing pain.
3. Avoid sudden jerky movements.
4. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
5. Take simple painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs.
Don't worry, these lifestyle modifications will treat your pain completely.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
