Inter coastal pains won't go away (over a month)

Hello everyone,

To give you a bit of background on the situation, I had a cold at the start of Feb and because I was coughing a lot I had on the 14th of Feb a very strong to pain the ribs that started.

I went to an NHS walk-in centre but they reassured me that nothing was serious and that it was just due to the cough, that I needed to rest etc.

The only problem is that we are now the 17th of March and I absolutely saw no improvement. At the time they gave me strong pain killers that naturally reduced the pain but as soon as I would move too much it would come back.

I spent an entire month without doing any sport but then seeing that it wouldn't go away (maybe stupidly) I went back to sport (boxing). With no surprise every time I do a sporty activity this hurt even more.

To resume, this pain covers all my chest and hurt when taking too deep breathes, moving in a certain way, coughing/sneezing. I know that it is something quite usual but i feel like it's been too long now! I'm 24 and pretty healthy.

Your thoughts are very much appreciated,

Many thanks,

Juliette
