i have very tender spot in left rib, right under chest, near sternum. doc not sure if fractured or not (cant see how as havent injured, but i do have osteoporosis so it is possible i guess)
pain started on thu, hadnt done chest workout since the sun before. on the wed i had done legs and behind head lat pulldowns..could the latter have been the culprit? i didnt feel any pain at the time
anyway, what exercises are completely rib-sparing! i am guessing legs, biceps, triceps and ?shoulders would be ok as well as cardio.
doc said xray wouldnt show up anyway, so am just on codeine for pain, which is not terrible, but cannot lie on stomach etc
