Danielle	Once my brother complained of pain in his chest that help like presure. He discribed it as if someone was giving him a bear hug. Anyway, he was ok for about 7 or 8 hours from the begining of his complaining, the it got so bad he couldn't breath and he thought he was going to die, literally. My mom rushed him to the er and come to find out it was a colapsed lung! I'm not saying this is what you have, but you need to go the the ER asap, before whatever it is gets worse and you can't breath or whatever. Please take precausions and go. It may be nothing, but better safe than sorry. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Eve	Well there is no telling when you have those kinds of injuries if you've gone and done something serious. I'd be worried about fractures or broken blood vessels, that type of thing. It would not hurt you to get an x-ray and rule out any serious injury. Remember an impact travels...you slammed onto your back but the impact kept travelling right through to your chest which took the worst of it, so likely it's just your chest muscles that absorbed most of the shock of the injury. But rule out any injuries to the ribs or lungs with an xray. I would suggest you try this. Get some medium sized towels and moisten them with water and wring them good. Throw them in the microwave for a minute or two until they are warm and put them on your bare chest. Put a thinner dry towel on your chest if it's too hot and put another towel on top of the wet ones to keep the heat from escaping. The MOIST heat will relax your chest muscles which are tightening and causing the pain making it difficult to breathe too I would imagine. If you can lie on some on your back too I'm sure it would help even more. This is what they do at physio but they have specially made towels and equipment for that. Have someone give you a Gentle chest massage (and back) with a warming lubricant too or A535 which may help Loosen the muscles too. You should feel better in a few days. The fact you are in this much pain already tells me the worst is yet to come because your muscles will tighten making it feel like you're having a heart attack or something...so keep them warm and loose but do go for an xray first.

John A	The nerves that supply the ribs and the sternum originate mostly from the spinal cord and some from the cranium. The blow to the back could easily cause a temporary nerve injury that will effect the supply of energy to the anterior chest (front). So whilst the injury is in the back the referred senation can be in the front (the axons along the intercostal nerves will supply the sensation). Rest and relaxation will help and analgesics such as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory will reduce the pain and discomfort. Quote: " NSAIDs are sometimes also referred to as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents/analgesics (NSAIAs) or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIMs). The most prominent members of this group of drugs are Aspirin, Ibuprofen, and Naproxen partly because they are available over-the-counter in many areas. Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) has negligible anti-inflammatory activity, and is not an NSAID." Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jon T	It is probably just a bit of a bruise or a sprain from the fall. But if it was hanging around in a couple of days without getting better, then I'd probably head to the docs. As a complete guess the only thing I could imagine "pushing in" would be a broken rib, but I reckon you'd be in complete agony if it was that, so I'm probably talking BS. Hope it sorts itself out soon. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
