Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In Left Breast After Falling

I fell on my brick stairs 3 days ago. I fell on my left side and hit my head above my ear and my side of my breast. I am having really bad pains throughout my entire left breast and it hurts when I take deep breaths. My regular breathing is fine. Am I just sore or could I have damaged something?

Hello dear user, thanks for consulting Healthcaremagic and sharing your concerns, I think if you can move your arms in different angles and you don't have any noticeable deformation and the pain is tolerable probably you don't have a fracture but due the trauma you got a muscle damaged or joint distended I advice you to take non steroid anti-inflammatory/pain killers meds such as ibuprofen 2-3 times a day x10 days and vitamins supplements(B) apply ice-bad 3 times a day x 20-30 minutes the first 2 days to minimize some internal bleeding a gentle massage with ice/hot gel or cream 3 times a day help you to relieve the pain
I recommend you limit your arms movements wearing a brace if the symptoms still persist after 10-15 days a doctor should be consulted, take care
Please kindly rate if my advise has been helpful
Wishing you a good health
