I was informed that it was likely being sports injury, possibly from chest exercises at the gym and nothing to worry about. This pain has been a kind of on and off and I wonder if there is any way to help my muscle to heal. Should I have this seen by a specialist?

My cousin was diagnosed with toxic neuropathy due to alcoholic history. The doctor advised Medrol injection 1000mg and Risek 40 for 3 days. The doctors said that due to toxic neuropathy his optic nerve got damaged, which is impossible to recover now.
