Chest Injury
I got injury in chest three and half months ago from study table.I have done x ray found no issue i think there was minor crack so x ray showed no issue or maybe bruised rib.I was also evaluated by cardiologist and found no issue.I visited three orthopaedic doctor, first said it will heal in one week, second one 6 week.I was still having tenderness and soreness after three months.So, visited third orthopaedic doctor.He said u r having muscles pain and it will take some more time to heal.When I sleep on that side at night sometimes injured area get pressed at night and feel pain.Is that orthopaedic doctor true, muscles can take longer than three months ti heal.If yes how many more months I will get full relief?

It takes time to heal, apply ice pack twice a day, take good calcium and vitamins rich diet.
If there was any minor fracture, it was detected in x ray, there is nothing to worry, it will reduce.
