Suggest Treatment For Chest And Back Pain With Chills
I was pulling heavy carts at work yesterday when I felt something pop in my chest and immediately started having chest & back pains. My chest still hurts today but my back is in really bad pain. I ve also been getting chills all day but don t know if that has any connections with my injury.. Is there any convention? And should I go to a doctor?

Hi while pulling heavy cart you have started back and chest pain and back hurts more.In my practice , with this pic I would suspect vertebral injury and go for an x ray of affected part to rule out any spinal compression fracture . Pain killers , back support , rest and physiotherapy will help relieve the pain and the rest will depend on x rays. Yes you should consult your doctor if the pain does not go away in few days.
