I fell flat out and landed on by left breast which took the full impact. Its very painful. The doctor didint think i had broken a rib but suggested the muscles have been damaged. Can you give me more info. I have also chipped my bone in the thumb and torn the ligaments
Due to muscle soreness you might experience pain for few more days. Use ice packs 3/4 times a day with each session being roughly 10 min.don't do much left-hand movements for few days. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
