My husband has pain in upper part of the sternum when he lifts arms or holds his head back. He said it is there when doing nothing but sitting but not as bad. It does radiate thru to the same area but in the back. He did pull on a deer out of a truck a few days ago also. He said this has been going on for about 2=3 weeks. Should he be concerned? What can he do to ease the pain?
Hello, As per your history, I think it is a sprain. It is caused because of the pulling of the muscle. I will suggest you to take tablet Higher MR, and tablet Rant ac. Also, apply Diclofenac gel or Voting spray. If symptoms worsen, then do chest x-ray and consult with orthopedic. I will advise you to give some rest to it. Do light activities and do not lift heavy objects. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
