Hello,
The sharp pin on taking a deep breath can be due to an injury to the intercostal muscles or an infection like pleuritis. Proper rest and anti-inflammatory pain killers can help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Praveen Tayal, Orthopaedic Surgeon
