Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi there. looks like you've sustained a blunt injury to the chest muscles. It might appear sore and painful initially. These injuries are a common occurrence while playing basketball. I would advice you to give it a rest for 3-4 days. Apply local analgesic creams and some ice packs to help with the recovery. Take tramadol 50 mg tablet if the pain is too much or unbearable. Do some slow deep breathing exercises to avoid sudden cramps and you'll be fine.
