Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Chest Area
I am one year removed from a double mastectomy from breast cancer and eight months from my last implant surgery. I fell on my left side and heard a pop and had immediate pain in my chest area. Can t lift anything heavy, can t swing a golf club, but otherwise not too much pain. What do you think?

It can be a muscular pain, i suppose as you had fallen down or the ribs inflammed.
You get a chest xray done to see if there is any rib fracture and if not start tablet naproxen 500 mg daily twice for 5 days.
