What is the cause of pain around the chest

For pain around the chest, the common causes are as follows: a. Malignant tumor of breast in female patients invades the chest wall muscle layer, or the surrounding intercostal nerves, causing pain around the chest. It is necessary to perform breast tumor excision and peripheral lymph node dissection as early as possible, combined with local radiotherapy treatment, systemic chemotherapy and other comprehensive treatment, which can effectively reduce the pain around the chest. Secondly, after the patient is hit by external force, it will cause multiple fractures of sternum, which will cause pain of intercostal nerve and manifest as pain around the chest. It is necessary to improve the CT or X-ray examination of the chest as soon as possible to evaluate the specific situation of the rib fracture and decide whether surgery or conservative treatment is needed. After the rib fracture is healed, the pain around the chest can be gradually relieved.
