Thanks for your question on HCM.
You are having blunt back and chest trauma. So in my opinion you are having muscular pain mostly. But following are the complications of blunt trauma which should be rule out.
1. Rib fracture.
2. Vertebrae fracture
3. Pulmonary contusions
4. Pneumothorax
5. Muscular injury.
So get done chest x ray and x ray of doraolumber spine.
If both are negative than no need to worry much. You are having musculoskeletal pain mostly.
Try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in muscular pain.
1. Avoid heavy weight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
3. Avoid movement s causing pain.
4. Start good painkiller and muscle relaxant.
5. Apply warm water pad on affected site.
