A member asked:
What can i do if my chest hurts when i cross my arms or lift them forward. what could it be?

Muscular: Classic description of muscular pain. You have pectoralis muscles, intercostal muscles, and even a part of the latissimus dorsi muscle that attach to your chest wall and when these are sore, they hurt in the pattern you describe.
