Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician.
I understand your concern. Since you have persistent chest/pectoral pain after a gym strain, it is reasonable to get imaging to rule out muscle or tendon injury.
â
Advices
⢠The correct test is MRI Chest Wall / MRI Pectoral Region (sometimes written as MRI Thorax with focus on chest wall and pectoral muscles)
⢠At the diagnostic centre, simply say: âDoctor has advised MRI chest wall/pectoral region to rule out muscle or tendon injuryâ
⢠Carry your prescription and mention clearly that pain is localized to the chest/pec area from a gym injury
What to Monitor
⢠Any worsening pain with movements
⢠Swelling, bruising, or visible deformity in the chest muscle
⢠Difficulty lifting arm or pushing movements
Management
If MRI is not available, an ultrasound of chest wall/pectoral region can also detect muscle tears, but MRI gives the most detailed information.
When to Consult a Doctor Immediately
⢠If pain increases suddenly with a âpopâ sound
⢠If there is severe weakness in arm or chest movements
⢠If swelling or hematoma develops
ð You can connect with me on Practo or WhatsApp at 85271646 seven seven for prescription assistance and review of your MRI report once available.
Take care, wishing you good health.
Best regards,
Dr. Romain Rajan
