I think I've damaged my chest muscle.?!
Question: I think I've damaged my chest muscle.?
Last night I put a cup on the table and when I went to sit down, I turned funny and my chest (in the middle, above and between my breasts) has hurt ever since. It's like sharp pains there. It hurts when I try and get comfortable whilst sitting. What do you think could have happened? Have I pulled a muscle or twisted it or strained it?
I know you'll suggest go to the doctor and I am going to go. I have to wait for an appointment. What can I do to ease the pain before then. Don't suggest sleeping because I can't sleep. I've tried.
Thanks

I would suggest you take paracetamol and ibuprofen together and see if that helps. Least then if you have tried them together at the highest dose, your doctor may prescribe you something stronger if need be. I know it can be very annoying as it can affect sleep but just bear with it and it will get easier. Good luck and hope you feel back to normal soon! x
take paracetamols for the pain and rest,you're right about going to Dr's but I bet he tells you what you are already sure about and he will tell you same re painkillers and rest.
