Constant Pain Under Breast And Scapula After Fall. Could This Be Pneumonia?
I recently fell and scrapped my knee, however, I am not sure which way I fell. A few days later, I started have constant pain under my right breast and scapula. I am worried about pneumonia. Should I go to the doctor or should I just wait and see? Sorry, didn t realize I needed to pay. Never mind.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain under the breast and scapula is more likely to be due to a muscular pain related to the muscle stiffness after the fall. This is not related to pneumonia as there is no difficulty in respiration.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
