Suggest Treatment For Chest And Back Pain
Thank you, I fell down 3 steps perhaps a month ago. It took my breath away and I sat on the steps hoping I was not seriously injured. Since then, when I take a deep breath my chest and back feel pressured and it hurts. The pain appears to be in the same place, across my upper chest and upper back. Is this okay, should I give my body more time to heal from the fall?

Hi you have probably an inner contusion, or fractured rib. For both you need not worry. It will heal on its own. If it is severe, you may need anti inflammatory drugs and an x-ray.
