A member asked:
Can you tell me how to know when i'm ready to lift again after having a costochondral separation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When the pain stops: Costochondral injuries can take up to 2-3 months to get better. You should be ready to stop lifting again once the pain subsides and you don't feel any popping or have pain with deep breathing, coughing or sneezing.
