What did i do to my pectoral?

Question

Hi, yesterday i hurt the side of my right pectoral, it hurts the side of it, and my right shoulder blade slightly. What did i do, and what should i do as far as going to a doctor or just icing it.

You could have pulled a muscle or just have some internal bruising.  Irregardless, the treatment is the same.  Definitely ice it, rest the shoulder as much as possible and take some Ibuprofen on a regular basis to ease internal inflammation.  If it doesn't start to feel better 4-5 days after doing the above then you might wish to get checked out at the docs.
