My symptoms consist of sharp back pain including bottom of shoulder blade. I mostly feel feel discomfort in front of rib cage that does not allow me to take deep breaths. I cannot have a straight posture when standing. Can you please advise?...thanks Jesse Ortega

Hello,
I think you just overstretched mussels. I believe you should take ibuprofen for pain and have rest.
Also, you can use Voltaren gel over it. These symptoms will get better soon. If still don't get better in the next two days you should go to the doctor for an x-ray.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
