Suggest Treatment For Underarm And Breast Pain Post A Fall
I tripped and fell and hit my left breast really hard on the floor. My breast didn t show any bruising but the next day my under arm, side and top of breast was extremely painful. It hurts to pick anything up. Should I get x-rays or is it pectoral muscle strain?
It's muscle strain and will be relieved within few days. Jus apply some ice gel over it but don't massage. Get an x ray done to check collar bone. No need of oral medications. Get a consult only if you see swelling and redness over it or something strange in x ray report.
