pain in chest muscle?

by mercurygirl20, Oct 07, 2006 12:00AM
I think I may have pulled a muscle in my chest area. It started hurting last night (Friday) after I had worked out Thursday.

The pain is right between where my breasts start, and only hurts when I move certain ways.

I've taken ibuprophen once so far and it seemed to help. I also tried an ice pack but that didn't seem to work.

Any suggestions? I want to make sure this is what it is before I do anything.

Its better to avoid movements/positions that cause the pain. In short, given rest it should be ok. If ice didn't help then, and if you still have the pain maybe you can use heat. It will help relax the muscles. Hope it helps.
