6 months is a long period for any acute condition so it can only be from muscles anf ribs mostly.
What is your weight?
Did you get some forceful injury to chest months ago?
Do you have cough and fever with loss of weight?
Is there history of Tuberculosis in the past or to other family members?
These are a few questions which need to be answered before arriving at some conclusion on the cause of your pain.
You may need some investigations like blood test, x ray chest etc
