Suggest Remedy For Pain Near The Breast After Injury

I recently slipped and fell very hard....left breast/rib area hurts through to my back. It hurts when I caugh or breathe deeply. Could this be a cracked rib? I also have a breast implant. I have been taking Advil and a muscle relaxer.it seems to help.

Hello, Welcome to HCM.If pain relieves totally after 2-3 days of taking tablets then it is just chest muscle injury.If you are still feeling pain,then get one chest x-ray to rule out rib fracture.That solves the doubt.Take care
