Just got over bronchitis, pneumonia in left lung, took 2 rounds of Levaquin to rid it. Had 2 chest X-rays, the second showed all clear, I am a smoker, 3/4 pack a day...age 52..female. I am experiencing pains on my right side under arm into right breast, hurts to breath in....like a pulled muscle, which I could of done from coughing so much, and I did have some strenuous work using my arm pulling this week. The pain started then last Monday, and it doesn t seem to be letting up. I am taking IBP 800 mg and using a sports any inflammatory gel.....any ideas on when and how to get it gone.....?
Hi I am Chat Doctor. .  In my opinion decrease smoking as much as possible, hot massages with topical muscle relaxants like tizanidine, with some bed rest and relaxation will be effective it may take up to 2 weeks to resolve sometimes steroid intramuscular injections if not diabetic are recommended.
