I fell about two weeks ago, landed on my left upper chest area, fell hard onto a hardwood floor. I have pain when I breath in, pain when I lift my left arm and pain when I bend over. It feels like the muscles are all pulled and it hurts to sneeze, laugh, cough. 9/10 pain and it hasn t gotten better. I am currently still working through the pain when I excercise, I run. After I run it is worse. I am wondering if I broke something in there? Scapula? I am trying to avoid going to the doctors as am a very busy hard working single mom...time is precious to me...but this is getting worse not better, keeping in mind I am not able to rest much.
