How Long Soreness In Shoulders And Neck Last After A Mammogram?

I experienced back, neck, shoulder, left armpit and rib pain and arm pain following a routine mammogram on wednesday. I saw the chiropractor this morning Friday, who said the 1st rib was displaced putting pressure on the ct joint and pressure on the brachial nerve. I was manipulated and the symptoms are much easier but my shoulder muscles and neck are still quite sore. how long are the symptoms likely to last?
