Question

I'm really concerned because I took a hard fall in the bathroom and slammed my chest on a tap. It's been about 34 days now and the chest pain hasn't gone away. I did a chest X-ray, and I'm worried if there's anything wrong with it. Could there be a chance of pneumothorax? Also, I have to fly tomorrow and I'm not sure if it's safe to fly with this kind of pain. What do you think?
