Have you ever pulled a muscle in your chest?

I moved some flowerpots and felt a stabbing pain at the time. Now a week later, it's still very uncomfortable

On a couple of occasions. Both when I was trying to do a partial pull up without properly warming up.

Iced it and took some ibuprofen for a couple of days.I have a Theragun Mini. I swear by this thing, it works l ike magic.

I was doing The Bates Method for Better Eyesight Without Glasses exercises and went camping and thought I could go all weekend without my glasses. I was wrong.

@hunkalove i remember those exercises from many years ago. I think they were debunked.

@samueltyler2 I think they really helped. I still wear glasses but I had the same prescription for 30 years. My eyesight didn’t change. And they really helped to relax my eyes. I still do them sometimes, but not all of them and not all the time.

Yup I was doing Push ups and it just happened. Took me like a year to heal though. The pain wasn't that bad or I got used to it but it healed on its own. I thought it was my heart and went to many doctors all agreed that my heart was just good so yeah xray showed it's a pulled muscle

@SirAhmed a year is a long time.

Sounds like a visit to a doctor might be a good idea just to be quite sure it isn't anything more serious!
meggie · F
@ninalanyon yes you are right
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@meggie how is the pain? i don't want to worry you, but it might be wise to seek a professional opinion, in person.

does it hurt to breathe in?
if, yes, you might have sprained a rib

what's worse than that, is a fracture

you can evaluate strained muscles through movements
Yes, and it hurts.

@samueltyler2 its worse laying down
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@meggie i understand. i might suggest taking an aspirin just in case it is something more serious. how old are you?

@meggie if the pain continues to spread, you need to be examined by a physician.

as long as it's just a muscle maybe you just need a massage. don't take it the wrong way
