question: Hi, I have a friend who has what is believed to be a pulled chest or pectoral muscle. He went to the emergency room and they took an x-ray and basically rushed him out of the door due to his lack of insurance. His symptoms are extreme pain, with no bruising or swelling. It hurts when he lays down and even when he swallows. He was prescribed Ibuprofin 800 as well as a muscle relaxer but the pain does not let up. Is there anything else he can do?
