Chest muscle pull or capsular contracture? (Photo)

Asked By:pooltime2 in Chicago, IL

BA in dec’17 under the muscle. Almost 2 months ago (9 months post BA), I did some pull-ups. I felt a lot of pain in my upper left chest a few hours later. It also felt firmer on the top half compared to my right (both equally soft on the bottom half) although it looks the same. I still feel the occasional dull ache (worse after carrying weights) in the upper half but I can’t visit my doctor as I am overseas. Could it be the onset of CC or just a very bad muscle pull? Will massaging help?
