Video is posted 10yr ago and still helped me now
I pulled my chest muscles during a particularly bad coughing fit and have been in pain for a day before I found this. It's not completely gone but it's significantly eased. Thank you, I am now subscribed.
Thanks so much for this helpful video! I was worried It was my heart. Then I was thinking it was that I pulled a muscle 🤕 lifting weights.
Yes. So Giselle did you notice with said muscle tear that it felt like a squeezing sensation in your chest. Then as your anxiety increased did it also seem like the muscle hurt more from the anxiety?
Eric Roberts I have this going on right now, it does increase with thoughts about it. I’m sure it’s anxiety but I don’t want to cross out heart disease. I’m 21 and relatively healthy
@@coreyskii4401 Same here, I'm a bit worried about it, but it occurred during working out.
@@opiumdensRus For me Yes
@@gamemuch4936 Happened to me yesterday right after stretching too hard before getting out of bed. I felt sore under my armpit are then started feeling random sharp throbs under my chest. The anxiety comes because we don't expect pain to come sporadicallyl from an area right over our heart. You feel helpless and think heart problem. It will go away, just don't overexert. Massage the area and breath slowly from your chest, through your nose and not your mouth. The random pain stopped when my underarm area felt better so it can't be a coincidence. If it comes back then I'll be seeing a doctor just to be on the safe side.
This is really great. I'm 24 and am a beginner weight lifter. I tore my chest muscle, according to my nurse and she recommended me this video. Thank you.
physicaltherapyvideo I'm having chest spasms on upper right pec muscle what can cause this and what yo do to stop
What's the treatment for a tear I hope not surgery
How are you now
thank you for your prompt response....I will keep watching you !!!
Very very very good job on this video gents! Thank you very much for the info.
Thank you for this I really need this. Because I pulled a muscle in my chest while I was at work.
I’m going to consistently try this exercise. I have an irritated muscle that gets sore when I twist it/limited mobility. This exercise masked the pain which I think is a good sign. So, I’m going to keep trying this exercise, thanks.
Watching these video all day today. Thank you so much for sharing.
This really help man, immediately my arm is moving much smoothly and without restriction. Thank you!
Thanks guys, I found this very helpful, straight forward and to the point, fun presentation too :)
Thank you guys for this advice.
TWO FINGERS OR THREE FINGERS. DO YOU FEEL THAT BRAD? All seriousness thanks for the video. I have been hurting for several months and this is really helping me. Thanks guys.
How does this have no attention? Hahaha
Thanks guys this was very helpful
thanx, and God bless all.
Hello! Great stuff! I've been dealing with chest problems for the past few years now and like you described with your own chest injury, it has continued to flare up. Is there a way I can give myself the massage you demonstrated? And how important is the exact motion of the massage?
Thank you. This really worked!
Great information I keep pulling my chest like I have now any help is great.
Great Great Great Job Guys! The Video Is Very Well Done and Explains A Lot! Thanks
I want to say a big thank you to you guys, it helped me greatly. I also used some massage oil.
You guys are pretty goofy, but I appreciate the information you posted about a torn pec muscle. I injured my right side after a particularly strenuous pull-up workout and, like Bob, I keep re-injuring it. The massaging technique will certainly help the healing process. Thanks again.
Did it help ?
Anyone do this and feel like theyve had a heart attack?
Hey there! Great video, I just subscribed! I have injured myself slightly while deadlifting a few weeks ago, and I think it's a minor pec strain. it's located in the top outer part of my chest (left side) and although there is no pain, the pain comes back if I deadlift (basically the heavy weight that keep tensions down my arms and therefore pulling the chest) but the funny thing is that it does hurt nor it's uncomfortable while bench pressing or cable flyes. Why do you think this is or what do you think it could be if not pec strain? would appreciate your help.
Guys got good chemistry.
I'm a pre-PT student and weight training enthusiast who, well, we know it was my own mistake that brought me here (benching without enough warm up). Thanks Doctors, for your work and help..
yeah i tried benching without enough warm up and without good form, it felt like i couldn’t pick up my arm for a few hours but a day later no bruising with slight swelling and i have full range of motion but slight soreness/tightness if i stretch my arm too much
does that seem like a strain, i would assume that if it was a tear/partial tear it would be way more painful and bruised compared to just a strain
if so does this massage help and about how long until you were able to do push ups and pull ups again
@@noname-lj7poSame happened to me. Not enough warm up for bench. How long did it take you to get back to benching/ training chest?
Thank you for this video 🙏🏼
This just happened to me a couple days ago. Should I use heat or ointment cream for this too? Thanks for posting this!
thank you it worked i was having pain for weeks
Bob and Brad are something else
We will take that as a compliment!
Thanks a lot guys. I've been doing the massage with Penetrex cream. I also try to ice my chest 3-4 times a day.
I have been doing the stronglifts 5x5 program for two months now. The other day, during the bench press workout, my right chest just sort of crumpled while doing my second set (thank heavens for the cage!). The weird thing is that I don't see any bruising on my chest, but I do see a dark bruise on my right bicep. There's no pain whatsoever on my bicep or anywhere on my arm.
But doing this message with icing, advil and ibuprofen has made a marked difference.
Did u recovered
Hey guys nice video, my outer upper right pec hurts enough to keep me from going really heavy. My right shoulder was popped alot from when I played football so that might be why. Any ideas on how to strengthen and gain flexibility in my right shoulder?
here 10 years later to say thank you, ive never pulled a chest muscle before and now I at least know what to do!
Thank you for sharing this information. The tightness by chest muscle tendon was experiencing a lot of inflammation, triggering my anxiety attacks. This is a life saver.
So does the pain also go to your upper back a bit or no, very godd video, I'll definitely be trying this tonight
I recently started feeling discomfort in the exact same spot by my armpit and it effected my chest and made my arms feel numb and weird for some reason. I’m definitely going to give this a try!!
How did this work out for u?
Is it feeling better now?
I have the same thing, affects back too, pulled it years ago, need to go see someone
I just did it doing close grip bench press. My chest is swollen bruised heavy by the upper corner at delta. Pain is complete side of pec , under pec and across top by collar bone. I definitely felt the electrifying feeling and burn.Should I avoid training altogether and for how long, or can I train around the injury? Thank you Brian
Thanks guys for a great video. I have a torn pec and it is very sensitive in my arm pit, is that normal?
Yep 👍🏽
waiting to get an MRI to see the damage, but its been 6 weeks and my pectorals major is still bunched up in that tangled fashion, I'm very concerned because I'm supposed to compete in a powerlifting meet in JUN. On a good note i can perform weighted pull ups, 30 push ups in 1 set, and i attempted benching 135 for 3 sets of 10 reps while massaging in between sets and had no pain. i stopped doing everything because i don't want to make it worse.... any other advice? also thanks for the video ill start massaging it 3x a week.
GREAT video! i was using the row machine on sunday evening and a bunch of other arm lifting exercises, thursday i noticed i had a pain in that EXACT spot. i was lifting pretty hard and it comes and goes . its about two inches over from where my arm connects to my torso and about a half inch- 1 inch down, my right side doesnt really hurt unless i make a muscle then it hurts a little. i was worried it was something to do with my heart! ( i dont have any chest pain in my lower chest, just up in this one spot) i had a physical last month and BP and sugar was good , so im assuming thats not it. any thoughts guys ? is there any for sure way to tell if its a muscle or not? if i take my left arm (the one arm with the issue) and life it up and rest it on my stomach and put my left hand on my right shoulder, the pain goes away, but when i put it down at my side , thats when it hurts, if that helps. thanks!
I strained my Pec major on the second set of bench press a few days ago. I can feel it slightly in the sternal head of the pec as well as at the insertion point on the humerus. Its almost like a straight line across. The pain is not unbearable but I am afraid of potentially rupturing it at the insertion site because of where the pain is located. What exercises should I avoid until it feels better and when should I start stretching it?
how often should you do this and let the pec rest before stressing it with weight? I do power lifting so my bench is always intense
any updates on this? I'm also wondering, thank you
PossessWithin I still have mine since 2 years and it won’t go away but I felt a moved nerve on my left shoulder and to my left chest
Any updates to this
Still waiting for an answer 🤔
@@waelmarthi3393 czcams.com/video/1dL1PtHNG7k/video.html
Strained my chest doing push ups lmao. Took 2 days rest and some ice. Started massaging and doing rom exercises all day. Began doing push ups on my knees day 3. And then I was back to normal in about two weeks. Make sure to do that massage it really helps early on to make the healing process faster.
i messed up i felt i already had the muscle pulled but i still lifted and now the pains is unbearable
@@vlonked9970 rest is key just take a week off and work other muscles 👍🏻
Is it possible to strain both at the same time cuz I think I sprained it whilst doing push ups but there was no pain when I was doing them, it just occurred after like a few hours
Thanks for the video!
Strained my chest muscle two days ago rock climbing. It's still a bit sore to the touch (mostly near the armpit), but the pain has reduced significantly. When should I begin massaging and stretching during the healing process? So far, I've been trying to just rest and ice as much as possible.
Also, any advice on how long to wait before lap swimming, or how should my muscle feel before swimming again?
Great, thank you!
would that technique work for an old injure in that area .?
Thanks Guys -
I was practicing a hard choreo like everyday then I started to feel this strain thing thank you I thought it was a lot of concern 😊
hi guys! Is it possible that the injury in the pectoral muscle causes also light palpitations and feeling of weakness in the shoulder area? I am wondering whether is my heart but I have some hurting spots in my pectoral muscle. thanks
49 yr. old man here--As recently as October, I bench pressed over 300lbs. in competition. Sometime around the New Year, I woke up with numbness in my index finger and trigger points in my right upper lat, rear deltoid and pec. It seems as if they move on me and I am improving very slowly but surely. I cannot even warm-up on bench press, much less go heavy. I can squat and deadlift with no problems at all. Great video! Any more tips/advice from anyone who has experienced this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,
***** Thank you! This video has already helped tremendously.
Im an powerlifter that trains with weights for atleast 5 years. Before that i was professional rower and i never had problems with any muscle or tendon. Recently i started to feel some light pain just above my left armpit while doing any pressing movement but it goes away almost fully during benching. Im not sure if its the tendon or muscle that hurts but im afraid its going to get worse. Does this massage applies for both muscle and pectoralis tendon?
Magical. Fixed issues
hello, first off thank you gents for all the great and helpful videos. My problem is that i had to sleep on a different pillow than the one i'm used to, and i sleep on my side with my head leaning on my shoulder. the discomfort i felt was much similar to a torticollis, and i felt it for about 10 days, and now it hurts when i do the doorway stretch that Brad does. the funny thing is i was able to do a couple of workouts with pushups without any pain, but now i'm really worried about the pain that i feel in the upper chest/shoulder/collar bone area. Please help. Thank you ever so much.
hello, I've been having a muscle strain in my sternum area for over a year, would this work? what other things i could do if this doesn't work? thank you
I tore my chest mucle doing dips but by using my hands to dip one at a time till i reached one end of the bar to the other. Been in pain for months
can u get this from constant coughing and stretching its been about 3 weeks still got it
@Physicaltherapyvideo I pulled a pec muscle 3 weeks ago. It feels better but not 100% can I train it using light weight? Or can I train it at all
20 Year old male here. Around 3 months ago I strained my chest muscle either playing hockey or lifting... I have not lifted chest since but have played hockey here and there. I notice pain in the pectoral muscle, more inward and further from the shoulder than you have shown in your diagram, when doing activities ranging from getting out of bed to doing crunches. Do you have a list of exercises I should / should not be doing in order to recover, ie back, squats, biceps?
Thanks,
Matt
Pec and bicep tear at 50. Will try and report back. Would small massage gun be effective as well?
Tore my pec benching three days ago and now I am all bruised up on my armpit region and bicep. How soon can I start massaging it? Thanks!
Back in December I tore my chest and a slight tear of the labrum. MRI only picked up on the labrum tear so I got surgery for that and I'm currently doing physical therapy for it, so I didn't know it was a pec tear until recently. When i lift my arms to my side sticking straight out ,and have them parallel, the outer part of the chest that connects to the front delt/ armpit area is sunk in. Could I rehab that or would you think surgery would be better? thanks for any help!
i injured my anterior sternum while working out, now when i wide open my arms or lift anything over head or push down my hand against any rigid object while sitting straight, i feel pain on the right upper chest and interior lining of the chest. please suggest what to do?
Hello all I need help if possible, in the last three weeks or so I have developed a severe pain in my right side chest muscle that really is not an issue at work during the day but at night when I roll over during sleep it actually makes me yell out in pain. Also if i'm laying down and use my left elbow to raise up with the pain that it creates on my right side outer muscle? of the chest is some of the worst I have ever experienced. I recently had lab work done and the notes from the Doc said great job keep up the diet and exercise so i'm sure its not my ticker. I have a fairly physical job where I lift 50 pounds many times throughout the day and nothing that I have done at work has caused me any discomfort. I'm 54 with no medical conditions but I am about 30 pounds over where I should be and fairly agile for a fat boy, thanks for any input and have a great day.
First off, I have been lifting for about 3 years and am big into bodybuilding. I am constantly in the gym, and about 2 weeks ago i noticed tightness in both pecs, and recently it got worse, specifically in my right pec. Any idea why they would both feel achey and tight? hadn't benched for about 6 days before that. Have been icing and resting a few days and so far has not gotten any better.
I was bench pressing today and heard a terrible sound from my chest. It is very sore, and I cannot even do a push up. I believe I tore the muscle you guys are talking about. When should I begin doing this kind of treatment?
Great info I will definitely start these exercises today but was curious on your thoughts to foam rolling it!
I injured my right pectoral muscle with pushups. Can you please tell me the best sleeping position (& if I need a pillow under my arm or back) so this can heal? When I first wake up it's like I injured it all over again and it's the most painful in the mornings, so I know I'm sleeping wrong. Your massage and stretch techniques really help, but then I wake up in pain. Please help. Thanks!
Hey there, today I started with the bench press and on my first set( fairly light 130 lbs) and in the 5-6th repetition i felt a sudden sting in my left pectorial muscle.. I did all the correct mobility work with my rotator cuffs and a good stretch on the chest and yet still something occured there when starting the workout. Is this something serious like a muscle tear? I can go around my normal day activities without feeling the pain.
Many thanks.
I've had it for a year an idk what to do. I guess i'll give this a try an see what happens.
My left pec major tore in 2001. I shoved a large guy hard against a truck. I heard crushed cereal at least twice, then walked away. The tearing didn't hurt yet. Within 20 minutes, I couldn't raise my arm without pain. I went home and carefully removed my shirt and manually lifted my arm. I saw a purple clot the size of a silver dollar. I applied ice and rest. A few days later, it drained. My chest turned purple, brown, green in some areas and it drained down my left arm. It was a difficult transition, having to reduce my weights in half. 3 years later, I got an MRI to see what happened and if there was anything that could be done. My pec major was torn straight the belly. I still have the sternal and clavicular heads. That left front deltoid grows a lot more than my right, to help compensate for the loss. For the last year or so, I used Painless pumps to help fill in the depression and it does a good job. I have to make sure I pull back and there is no blood. I have to refill my oil implant every 2-3 weeks. I did notice there was less pull on the left front delt.
11 months ago, I tore my triceps longhead. Again, I heard that crushed cereal sound. I may have close to 50% strength in the back of my arm. I don't know if it will come back or not, but I will continue my therapy. Some tears heal all the way and some don't. I tore my left triceps after my chest injury and it came back. I had a .45 bullet pass through my right triceps and it came back. I tore both quads and they returned. It all depends on how much. If it's less than 25%, you'll probably get most or all strength back with time and work. If you try to work too heavy, you risk tearing something else. There will be exercises you use to do but can't anyone. Have to event new ones that don't hurt.
As for my chest, I was hoping my tendon came off the bone and it could be reattached, but that didn't happen. A good orthopedic will tell you you can't sew muscle to itself there. A sneeze could pull the stitches loose. Like the guy stated in the video above, where it tears, scarred tissue will form and attach to either side, but it breaks. Mine broke when I was doing decline dumbbell chest press, then my left triceps made that awful crushed cereal sound. I've never had an injury from the gym that I didn't fully recover from. The bad ones seem to happen outside.
I have have been doing this tissue rub. I watched this video a while back after my arm injury. My dead tissue is near my elbow. It has reduced since. I just practiced this on my chest, an old injury, where the tissue draws towards the sternum and it seems to help it relax, not pull as much.
I don't know if this was relevant, but both my left chest and right triceps use to be my dominate muscle groups.
Thank you so very much, the doctor showed me quickly one stretch to do but I forgot and this video gave me the tools I need to take care of this pain. It's bothering me day and night.
Hey guys, thanks for the great video! I got a chest strain about 5 months ago and it's only gone down in pain by around 15% since then, even though I've stopped ALL upper body training.. I think it's because my job requires me to write constantly which is pretty painful. Should it really take this long? I'm kind of worried it could require surgery of sorts.. Massaging like this seems to help but not significantly (and I've been doing it for weeks!)
@@davidmarkeilov472 It's crazy timing for you to ask (my comment was 4 years ago) because it did... but then I strained it again about 2 weeks ago! Eventually it did go away though but it would both me every now and again, there was obviously a lot of scar tissue and it was never 100% back to the way it was, but I was doing upper body exercises again (very minimal chest). But I guess it repaired weaker than I thought, because I pulled it again doing push ups, and now it hurts like it did before.
@@Cassie12348 did the pulled chest muscle feel like a heart attack bro its cuz i was skating and all of a sudden my chest started hurting from the left and its been a week now and it doesnt really hurt but i feel something irritating in my chest.
@@Bankrigged_ Not exactly! For me it was a sudden sprain feeling when I was doing the push up, like I could feel a pain in the muscle suddenly. It didn't hurt too bad when it happened, but then afterwards it felt very warm and a bit tingly in the location of the sprain, and more pain came on later. But it wasn't a general chest pain - it was localized to the part of the muscle where it happened.
How long did u recovered
@@davidmarkeilov472 did u recovered
Thank you for this video. It was really helpful. I'm 22 years old. About 4 months ago, while practising handstands I damaged this muscle. Up to now, I still feel some slight pain and discomfort close to my armpit, and stretching to the front of my shoulder. The injury never got a chance to heal because I am enrolled in dance school and was always using my arm...I would ice my shoulder quite regularly though. Now that school is out, I really want to get over this injury once and for all. I'm definitely going to do the massage and stretch every day. But do you recommend that I totally rest? I usually work out on my own (jump-rope for cardio and self weights like pull ups, squats etc) and I don't want to lose my fitness level, but at the same time if it's necessary to heal my shoulder I will do it. Or can I continue working out and just massage?
***** thank you!
Hi there How long will a tear muscle take to heal on chest thanks
I always pull my chest muscle it hurts like hell and feels like cramps
Right
Hi.
Yoi post this video long time ago but I hope you will answer me. I had a partial rupture on my chest during bench press and now, after 3 weeks i have a strong tension between biceps and chest. I have even pain on biceps side during some moves. I'm on the vessel so i didn't visit doctor yet. I'm interested what os your opinion on that? That part wich os in tension, tetive, will it become more loss or it will be needed surgery? Thanks for answer
ok, thanks a lot 😀
Im going to Marine boot camp soon and ive been pushing it really hard. Running 2.5 to 5 miles a day lifting weights ab workouts and i sprained a chest muscle now its so difficult to control my breathing and im always out of breath... how long will it take me to recover for this and get my normal breath back? can i still run atleast
Injured my chest muscle near the sternum several months ago and for the most part it doesn't bother me but if I move into certain positions it is uncomfortable like a pulled muscle and has not gone away. Any advice? Thanks!
Can lifting my 37-1/2 pound 2-1/2 year old tear/strain my pectoralis? I only ask because i have been to several docs who say the pain im experiencing is muscle beacuse i was getting it into my armpit, which that pain is better but now above my breast on the side i carry and lift her on. I have had it for about a week or so.... supposed to start physical therapy but waiting for facility to call and schedule as they are new. ive also been told i have rib dysfunction. You guys are awesome!! Love your videos.
Hey, I've a minor tear in my left pectoralis I think. It isnt severe. It's exactly in the corner. It feels like i can do pushups, and almost even bench press. Only incline DB chest presses are a no go. It seems like when theres not a big strerch its duable, like close grip presses, pushups, dips and landmine chest presses. I wanr to get back to training asap. I'll do the massage a lot and ice it to improve recovery. Any other tips or advice? It doesnt hurt i daily activities it only feels a little vulnerable or irritating sometimes.
Thanks! Great video! I subscribed.
***** Thank you for your respond! I've been doing what you've shown in this video and it has healed fully now. As a matter of fact I barely do any shoulder presses as I feel like side raises and such are more effective. I only felt the pain with the incline chest press. But everything is good now, thanks for everything! keep up the great videos, very helpful!
Thank u 🙏🏻
Over the past couple of weeks there's been discomfort near the end of my right pec leading towards my armpit. It's still there and not really going away after not working out my chest the last two or three upper body workouts. I've benched 340 a little over a month ago, and since the discomfort started, I still did 315 for a few reps and 225 for I think 14 reps. The point being is, I still have full function but I very much feel discomfort and can tell I should stop working out my chest.
I would think this would be a light strain. I'm getting it checked out on Thursday. Because I am able to hit my normal weight, would you say doing these massages and exercises would suffice if I don't target my chest for the next few weeks?
I guess you figured it out by now that you weren't giving it enough time to heal. When I was 20, I strained my shoulder, couldn't do anything in upper body without pain. Well, I went to a place for 3 months that didn't have a gym. I had to invent exercises with construction stones pillowcases, hand grippers, and cable wire. I didn't know it was flat bench press that gave me the injury and prevented me from getting better until I returned home. I use to bounce a little off my chest. After 3 months, I was healed and I redid all my chest exercises and concentrated on perfect form. I wasn't concerned with the weight I could use, I just wanted to grow. Of course, we're able to use more weight when we grow. You rarely see any pro or good bodybuilders do flat bench. They grow the most with incline and dumbbells.
If its in your armpit, its a tendon strain not a muscle strain. Takes longer to recover and you should not train. I have the exact same problem now after benching.
Robin Klint i got it by doing dips damn
@@Rk88874 I have the same pain and I think I got that by doing heavy dumbbell incline Flys... It's been like a month now the discomfort feels when working chest... My question is how long did it took to you to get fully recovered? And what is the solution?
So how's it now... What was the solution? I what was the exact cause?
how many days should i stay out? i had same thing last year was 2 months out without feeling pain just vexing.Now i have a vexing at 70% of the last year ones
I believe I may have strained my left pec. My symptoms are a dull pain, a pinching pain, as well as burning sensation. Just wondering if that is normal for such an injury.
When should you do this while healing or after.

Gentlemen,
My son has experienced what he calls a buzzing feeling as he increases his velocity in his pitching motion. It starts from his nipple area and extends towards his armpit. He also has the same "buzzing" feeling down his forearm from the elbow to the wrist when he pitches. The chest is sore the morning after. Suggestions and advice would be appreciated.
When you say do it for five minutes a day (the method) am I supposed to do it multiple times a day for five minutes or just once a day?
What if I have sharp burning pain that pulsates and twitches even without activity. Is it ok to start the massage
My common sense tells me my pain is from doing a rowing exercise. My stupid health anxiety tells me heart problems.
Did you experience discomfort when breathing as well I have health anxiety too and keep thinking I’m dying from an undetected heart disease 😂
my chest was having sharp pain which goes away completely the same day near middle of my left chest, i got it checked and found that i have muscle pull/strain and i need to take a break from chest exercises for a week or 1 also while stretching and slowly making my way back into chest exercises again but it can occur again in future even after healing completely due to strain mark it will leave there.

I was doing push ups as conditioning for my boxing practice and I was sore from the day before, once I tried to do it I got about 2 push ups done and then instant pain on my chest towards my shoulder.

I had a second degree chest muscle strain during bench press. I relaxed for about 30 days but it did not go away. So i started deep massage with a physiotherapist. I have done until now 2 massage sessions. At the second session the massage was very painful. Is it normal to feel such pain during the massage? Or must i stop? I have a third session in 2 days and i have arranged for 10 massage sessions.
haha these guys are great. Thanks for the help you two!
I think I tore or strained my right pec after doing upper body workouts. There was no big single traumatic event, but I just felt sore after I finished. A day later (today) I started doing pushups and found I could do about half of what I usually rep. After I did as many as I could there was a sharp pain in my right pec. I can stretch it horizontally without pain but raising my arm vertically hurts as well as rotating internally. Should I see a physician or just rest it for a while? Thanks for the video too.
Exactly what happened
That’s what happened to me
Me too ! How did you recover ? How much time did it take until you got back your fitness level ? Sorry for questionning but i'm scared of never getting back my level or being able to do good upper body workouts 😔
@@Orion-tz1fo did u recovered
did you recover
Very informative. About 5 Months ago I "strained" , "pulled" or outright -tore- the muscle fibers near my Clavicle(sternocostal?). I initially had a Dip in that area of the chest. I went and seen my primary care Doctor and they told me I probably strained the fibers and prescribed muscle relaxers. The initial onset of an extreme "choking" feeling on the same right side has receded slightly, but has not gone. It feels "tight" , Thus the feeling of being "Strangled". And when at rest (Sleeping) the pain subsides.
Will this ever Heal? Will the devit point fill itself in, at least some what? Do I do more harm in stretching/working the area? Should I cease upper body workouts completely? I go VERY light as it is(15-20lb). On top of that I now have other muscular problems, mainly in the left front side of my Ribs. As if the cartilage is being "pulled" apart.
You two are VERY knowledgeable, and if possible I'd appreciate it Very much If You Could Comment back. Thank you in advance, you earned a longterm subscriber!
***** I have found such spots, and have been seeing a Chiropractor which has helped. I also have checked that video out, which leads me to believe I very well may have such a problem on that end.
I'm at the end of my leash it seems, I can't handle the pain much longer. I don't want to be around if I have to deal with this constant pain. Doctors keep brushing me off and prescribing meds, I'll have to look into being seen elsewhere. Thank you for the quick reply!! Much much much appreciated!
***** It is!!! I've had brain surgery, drowned, hit by cars in my younger years..now having to deal with this, horrible! But you two are great people and I am glad you provide information to the masses. Thank you, keep up the awesome work! Made me at least feel better ,knowing there are good people out there still.
Great video guys, thank you. I had a tear or some sort of a painful sprain in my left pec (same are you massage in the video) about 9 months ago. It healed in about 6-8 weeks and I was able to slowly go back to working out pretty well. Then around 4 weeks ago the exact same injury recurred, but what I found surprising was that the onset was very slow this time and didn't seem directly related to any workout I did. The pain slowly gained pace. At first it was just a dull discomforting pain that I couldn't localise at all (to the extent that I thought I was just getting paranoid). Now I can easily touch a pretty sore area towards the side of the chest below the armpit. I am massaging as the video but I am noticing the pain getting more pronounced and shifting from dull to stabby. Could it be that I am making it worse? And why is it that although it is no where near as bad as last time in terms of pain, it is taking such a long time to heal. I am not doing ANY upper body work at all.
+physicaltherapyvideo hey guys, it turns out that it is tendonopathy not a muscle issue, seeing a PT. This morning my session was interesting as the PT massage the area of tenderness and pain directly for a few minutes at different spots. During the massage it was painful but bearable. As this is my first PT experience, just wondering if it is normal for PTs to massage the area directly and also if it is also normal that the area is now very sore and tender but it has been several hours since the massage?

I have the exact same symptoms. Pulled my muscle between the chest and lower right armpit during a push-up challenge. No chest workout for 10 days, then slowly getting back. Took 10-12 weeks until I felt fully healed.
Today I did push and pull exercises and I pulled the muscle again. The onset was the same as yours - started of dull, almost not noticing. But it got more and more intense during push-ups and pull-ups. Also, this time the pain is located somewhat higher. Not where the former injury arose which was 5 cm lower where the chest muscle connects to the ribs.
I'm so sad because i felt just like I was healed up and now the same thing starts again.
Regarding the first injury, I had an ultrasound and another check with my gynocologist. They didn't see either a muscle injury nor something else (lymph node, inflammtion, lumps, etc.).
@@INHeadKay how did u treat it knowing it was a tendopathy? How long did it take to heal? Really need to know 😂👍
@@HassanThelander that was 6 years ago. Eventually it heeled at some point but it took a while. Continue to excercise progressively and make sure you consume collagen in your protein shakes. The issue with alot of these is also nutrition because tendons take much less blood supply. Key is to make sure its tendon and not muscle. If tendon it will feel dull for months. Just keep building strength around the area
damn never thought i needed this
I like getting hurt just to watch y'all's videos.
Hiii bro ..my left chest is so mush painful since 2011 after doing heavy push-ups.any progress?
How many day of this until I will heal completely?can anyone help? I've been doing this for about 5 weeks and it only helped a little
Is it normal to have some tenderness/soreness after massaging the area
