bilateral apical thickening in xray is not to be worried. before 2 weeks injury can lead to some lung contusion or collection in lungs, you need to get xray chest done again and if required go for CT scan of chest. if all normal, then do deep breathing exercise, spirometry and you breathing will improve and pain will subside gradually.
