Chest Pain, Pain In Taking Deep Breath And Unable To Lift Weight After Getting Hit On Elbow. Is This A Serious Injury?
I'm having some chest pain. I play soccer and I was hit with an elbow last week. Everytime I take a deep breath the pain comes. I cant do any lifting or intense workouts at training. When should the pain go away? Is this a serious injury? I went to the doctor and he told me I only had some inflamation on my left chest muscle.

Thanks for query on HCM.
Pain on deep breathing is due to muscle and soft tissue injury.
Apply ice 3 to 5 times a day.
Start nsaid with serratiopeptidase to subside pain for at least 5 to 7 days.
You can apply any nsaid gel locally.
Avoid any extra movements,weight lifting,exercise and sports activity till get complete cure.
Consult orthopedician for further guidance and medical management.
