Brief Answer:
It looks like musculoskeletal pain.

Detailed Answer:
hello dear,

Thanks for posting your query on HCM.

the pain that you have described appears to be unlikely due to any chest condition.

Does she have any fever or did she hurt herself anytime.

It looks like a musculoskeletal pain to me. You need to consult an orthopaedic doctor for the same. However get a chest x ray done to rule out any lung/chest pathology.

Take care.
Note: For further queries, consult a joint and bone specialist, an Orthopaedic surgeon. Book a Call now.
