Question
Hi, My name is Kathie. Over the weekend, Someone was backing their truck up, not knowing I was standing there, they backed up, hitting me and trapping me between the truck and tree. I immediately had chest pain in between my breast, then it moved more to the right, and everyday, the pain moves a little more to the right. Right now, It hurts in my chest, but the pain radiate to the right everyday, now, its right under my arm, moving to my back. The pain is horrible. Unbearable, It hurts to breathe.

Answer
Sorry, but what is you question?? If it is advice, I would have xrays of the chest and ribs performed. If you did not fracture anything you definitely are bruised and will likely have an inflammatory condition of the sternum called costochondritis.  Best to have this problem evaluated.
