Auto crash airbag deployed 13 days ago. Chest pain has diminished. feels like sternum is bruised, cannot see anything but chest hurts, specially when cughing, burping, etc. Breasts sensitive to touch and hurt all the time. Unimpeded breething and eating. Pain is getting better as time goes by. Chest nipples hurt. especially when bending down. Do I need to see a doctor or will this pain disappear with time?
