I was tossing an 8-pound medicine ball for the first time in years. in catching it, my fingers slipped and it bopped me on the chest. it's still too painful to do yoga or push-ups or even twist in my chair, and it's been two weeks. is it worth having it l

Rib injury: It is probably a bruised rib or chest muscle. Since it is still painful, should get it evaluated.

More time: Sounds like a highly moderate impact occurred, and you should be getting more relief soon with relatively quick recovery thereafter. Give it a few more weeks as long as it's slowly improving, and doesn't impair your breathing and remains positional. Otherwise note any worsening or unusual symptoms and get to your medical provider. Get well.
