Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Pain In Chest While Moving The Shoulders?
got hit by a cricket ball (hard tennis) on the chest (left, below nipple area and on ribs). I was in pain when it happened but continued with the game after a 5 minute break. Ever since i am having slight pain for the last 3 -4 days. The pain increases when i lift my shoulders and move around. The pain appears to be triggered due to physical movement and not when i m breathing . I played cricket again yesterday and do feel the pain. its not unbearable but on a scale of 1 to 10, I would say its a 3-4. Could it be a hair line fracture or an internal injury, i hope not. I have cricket game in the future which i plan on playing.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, such injury may cause soft tissue inflammation and inflammation take some time to come around, some time this may need NSAID (Non-steroid Anti-inflammatory Drug ) and best option would be "Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in day, it is advisable to get done the x-ray to rule out the fracture part, hope this information helps, take care, have a nice day.
