What causes chest pain after hurt while fighting?
Patient: Hi I was play fighting with a firend and the hit me pretty hard in the chest. Now I am experiencing chest painwhen I turn or move, I can't lift anything and its a little hard to breathe. The pain is in my chest and shoots into my upper back. Can you tell me what mightbe wrong Doctor: This type of pain usually occur due to fracture rib or a bruise on the rib and usually takes a while before going away even if you take regular analgesics. It may take even upto 6 months. If too much of trouble get a nerve block from a pain specialist after you get an X Ray of the chest.
