Hopefully Minor injury

[CO B-man]

I posted this in another forum but got no replies. Hoping someone might have had a similar experience and know what I might have done.

I was lifting Saturday night doing clean-up on muscles I kind of slacked off on and I was doing curls fairly heavy. When all of a sudden I twisted wrong or something and I got a pain just where the bottom of my rib cage ends. It was not that bad until the next day when it was kind of hard to twis and or to breath really meaning it hurt when I inhaled. Kind of feels like a muscle was kinked and I strained it when it was kinked but not sure. I was feeling much better today when I twisted real quick again out of reaction to catch something and now I am right back to where I started from with the bad pain again. Anyone else had something like this happen? How long did it last? Do you have any idea what it is? ideas appreciated. In all actuality it feels kind of like it is in under the bottom of my rib cage.

Ideas?

I had something like this happen to me. It hurt, but it was manageable. More of an annoying pain than anything that might stop me from doing something. It lasted for a couple of weeks, IIRC. I have no idea what it was or how I did it. This doesn't help much, but it did eventually go away.

I haven't had anything similar in that area, but it sounds like a minor muscle pull. There's not really much you can do except wait and (as you discovered) avoid doing things that reaggravate it. If you don't do anything to make it worse, it should be fine in a week or so.
