I am getting unusual feeling in Bruised chest muscles and minor pain on pressing the injured area kind of tenderness.Bruised colour has faded away. Its been 32 days of injury.I contacted one orthopaedic surgeon he said to take dolo 650 but I am avoiding that as main is minor only when pressed.He asked to wait two more weeks and was asking if you are worried take CT Scan , XRAY is useless. Is there anything I can do to feel that bruised chest muscles normal as it seems stuck and on stretching too pain get pain. I contacted 3 doctor all have prescribed pain killer but I didn't got permanent solution.How long I need to wait to recover.

Soft tissue injury and rib injuries are possible from what you are describing. And they can take months to heal based on individuals healing capacity.

as your doctor has suggested CT scan will help diagnose in case of any bony injuries or lung contusions.. other soft tissue injuries are much better diagnosed on MRI .. but is unnecessary at this time.
A USG scan of soft tissue in the area may give clue regarding any hematomas in the area.
Health Tips
don't over think! some people genuinely require higher time to heal.. soft tissue injuries take 3 to 6 months or more to heal sometimes.. it could absolutely be normal ..
any increase in pain or change in nature of pain , increasing swelling, breathing difficulty warrants an immediate consultation in your nearest emergency .
