Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain.
1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest.
3. Sit with proper back support.
4. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
5. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
6. Wear rib belt.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1 week.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
