What Causes Back Pain, Shoulder Pain And Chest Pain After An Accident?
I was in a minor car accident last Friday. Slid on ice car did a 360 and I ended up backwards in a ditch. I was wearing my seat belt Now I am having pain in my left upper back and swelling . Also I am having shoulder pain and chest wall pain. I had x-rays done and there was no broken bones. Should I be concerned? What will help with the pain? Thanks. Michelle John.

Hi,
This could be a minor sprain or more advanced like a tendonitis or ligamentous Injury. I would consider getting an MRI of the shoulder and using anti-inflammatory agents like Ibuprofen or high dose acetaminophen for pain and swelling. Thank you and have a blessed day!
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
