However, I am unable to use it very much because it affects my lungs in a way that makes it very hard to breath. I was wondering if you knew of any other remedy or herb that could help with the pain as it's healing my chest like peppermint oil? They only thing I could think of would be supplements, loose leaf tea, or possibly some sort of salve or tincture. I'm pretty much back to being bed ridden, can't even work in my garden.

For muscular pain, of all kind, I use Arnica Montana, 30X or 30C. Take it on a clean mouth, no food or drink at least 30 minutes before and after. As with all homeopathic remedies, avoid strong flavors and aromas while taking Arnica.
Arnica may be purchased without prescription at most health food stores.
Medications that slow blood clotting (Anticoagulant / Antiplatelet drugs) interact with ARNICA.
Obviously this isn't medical advice. It's what I use for muscular pain.
