ouch, chest is really painfull.... agh well if its bruised, then you should ice it a bit, once the bruise starts to really fade, then you can soak it in warm water with epsom salt.. maybe get some cream and get someone to rub it in...

nothing..just rest..and dont lift anything heavy..it should heal itself.
