I fell of ladder and landed on my back hitting a chair, my head was push forward causing the breath to be knocked out of me. When I got up I could feel my chest hurting. I went to doctor, they did x-rays and said there were no broken bones in the breastbone. They did not do x- ray to the back. They said it was probably a bruised or torn muscle around the cartilage of the ribs. They gave me naproxyn and balcofen. This happened 3 weeks ago and still hurting and burning in chest. Back area is still sore, also. I am hurting bad. Can not sleep at night and function okay in the day, that is if I do not pick up anything or carry my purse. I am running out of medicine. Should I wait to see if I get better or go back to doctor.
