A member asked:
Pain left center chest near rib/lung. at first could not breathe, still pain in pushups and running. what is it and how to not happen again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You may have sprain: d the joint or joints where your ribs connect with your sternum( costochondral joints).If so,by carefully pushing down along each joint,you may be able to identify the exact joint that's sore.This is treated with Advil or Aleve, (naproxen)and remember to not do anything that makes it hurt for a few weeks.If pain severe,U can get a shot of cortisone into the joint for immediate relief.??
