Suggest Treatment For Pain In Upper Body After An Injury

I fell down the stairs a week ago I hit the bottom of my back and under my arm and around my heart area hurts when I breath. I can feel a pulsing pain in the centre of my upper body it s inside me and hurts a lot. I was given chest X-ray and radiologist asked me which side was most painful I told her left side and she said ok. Doctor said he couldn t find anything on X-ray. But I can put any pressure on centre of my back or chest it s really bad. Also I can t sit down on my bottom av to lie on left side. Please can you help

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief description.

As you had a fall this can be a past injury issue leading to soft tissue pathology and the pain symptoms. I will advice you to undergo a thorough clinical examination and MRI based on the examination like the lumbar spine.

This will help us understand the old injury and treatment choice will be pain killers in combination of a physical therapy.

Most fall injuries have pain on a later stages and they need proper clinical examination and physical therapy.
