Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more.
Chest pain on movements (bending in your case) and tenderness (pain on pressing) are characteristic of musculoskeletal pain.
So consult orthopedic doctor for the diagnosis of this.
You should avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Avoid strenuous exercise. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
Start painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs.
You will mostly improve in 1-2 weeks.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
