Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain
Hello. 5 weeks ago, while playing soccer, I got hit on my chest by a fellow player. I was on the ground for some minutes and was moved off the pitch due to pain. I went to ER and they did a X-Ray which showed no sign of damage or broken ribs. Doctor gave me some painkillers and sent me home. I got better after 2 weeks. However the pas 4 days the pain has return again. The pain is in the middle of the chest, slightly on the left hand-side. It hurts when I touch it, cough or make big moves. Shall I be concerned about it? Should I go back to ER? Thank you

Hello
I think you should not concern much about it. There is no need to rush to ER. It seems to be a muscular pain. So take pain killers along with muscle relaxant like tablet DAN MR twice a day. You can also put warm compresses to alleviate pain.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
