Chest pain on right side
by Corns, Oct 27, 2007 06:35PM
Had chest pain on right side. Has been going on for about 5 weeks, the pain is a whole lot better. Don't know how I did it but I think it must have been playing basketball. Right after it hurt everytime I shoot the basketball it is about 2 feet short. It has gotten better but I still can't get the ball to the rim. Has anyone else had this kind of problem, I'm getting tired of waiting for it to heal.

Was there any trauma to the chest prior to the symptoms? Are there any other areas of the body with pain, such as the shoulder or arm?
The symptoms could be related to either muscle strain or even costochondritis which is why shooting a basketball has been difficult. Is there still pain up to now? Is the pain constant or only when you shoot the basketball?
It would be advisable for you to avoid playing basketball or engage in any activities that could aggravate your condition until your symptoms fully resolve. You could apply some heat to the affected area and take analgesic/anti-inflammatory medications if there is pain or swelling.
If your symptoms persist, consult a physician.
