What Causes Sharp Pain In Breast And Back After An Injury?

Hi - I m 5 4, 135 pounds, athletic build. I fell on my side (indoors onto carpet) 36 hours ago.Immediately I had a sharp severe pain in my side and breast that lasted for about 5 minutes. The pain is still there, but it is also sending sharp stabs in the muscle under my breast and all the way around in my scapular area of my back too, and is very painful if I turn over, or lift any weight over a few pounds. Any ideas what is wrong?

hi,
welcome to health care magic
the amount of injury caused to you would have caused most impact on soft tissue, you are not supposed to do any strenuous works after the injury at least for 3 weeks, as there might cause additional injury to the muscles,
if you are having difficulty in breathing or the pain under the breast is is very sharp, kindly get a chest x-ray done to evaluate any hair line fractures of ribs
apply ice packs every 3 hours, take some muscle relaxants and analgesics to give relief.
take care.
