Is The Constant Chest Wall Pain Just Muscular Or An Interior Pain ?

On 1-1-12 I got chest wall pain the ER said it will heal in six weeks or more but I still get pain in that area. I'm only 14 and I'm scared. I can't tell if the pain is muscle or interior that's the scary part of it. Please give me any of your thoughts. Thank you.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more.
At your age of 14 years, heart diseases are uncommon but valvular heart diseases can be seen at your age and can cause similar kind of dull chest wall pain.
So better to first get done ecg and 2d echo.
If both are normal then no need to worry for valvular heart diseases.
Musculoskeletal pain is more likely in your case.
So avoid stress and tension. Avoid movements causing pain.
Avoid bad postures in sleep. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
