Possible pec/muscle problem???

[jenscats5]

I'm not sure whether I did something serious to myself or not, but my chest hurts. On my right side, in between my shoulder & my breast, the muscle there hurts & when I first wake up is stiff & very sore. When reaching my shoulder now pops & cracks, which it never did before. When I move my arm around a certain way, it "twinges." My traps don't hurt, nor do my delts or my back in any way.

I first noticed this after a bout with shrugs several weeks ago so I haven't done them. However I did them again last Sunday & now I'm still sore.

Has anyone else experienced this and is it just a muscle pull where I should just RICE it? I'm scared to do any weights cuz I don't want to tear anything.

A similar thing happened to me fairly recently whilst performing incline press. I just layed off the heavy pressing movements for about three weeks and I was right as rain.

Thanks Tuc!

Did you lift at all & just with light weight? Did you use any ice at all?

I'm reluctant to see my doc cuz she is pretty worthless & all the BS I have to go thru to find a sports doc is a PITA!!

 

[tuc biscuit]

I lifted, but with a bit less frequency/intensity. I didn't use and ice or anything, and it just seemed to go away. Remember though that I am not a doctor/physio so don't take my word as gospel.....although I may be able to diagnose you better if you pm'ed me more pics of the ares <wink wink>

LOL

Was that an 'Lol, here you go' or an 'Lol, not in this lifetime fatty'?

 

[jenscats5]

Well, it couldn't be the fatty cuz I don't know what you look like.

It was LOL cuz I thought your comment was funny. As in "I'm not a doctor but I slept at a Holday Inn express last nite so if you take off your clothes I'll look at it" kind of funny type way.

Clear as mud......

You've never seen/heard the Holiday Inn commercials? Oh, wait you're in the UK so they probably don't play them there. Well, here there will be a situation where someone needs a dr. & this guy comes up & starts doing doctor stuff & he is asked "are you a dr." & he says "No but I slept at a Holiday Inn express last nite." Like sleeping there will make you an expert.

Never mind.....

I stayed in a holidaY inn in London once. It was actually quiter nice..................now about them piccies.

 

[jenscats5]

Tuc -- about the pics.....I've been putting off taking them cuz of the fact that my diet & exercise have gone to CRAP!! and it's all my fault of course. Work has been a bitch & I've been doing a frickin TON of Overtime. In moments of stress I've been known to eat chocolate. I've had lots of moments of stress. Plus with my pec hurtin I'm afraid to lift.

Needless to say I don't feel pic takin right now would be a pretty pic.....

I have really got to get back on track....
