Torn Chest Muscle
Posted: 04-20-06 23:03pm

I have a strained or torn pectoral muscle. It affects nearly everything upperbody--weights wise--and ive been just taking it easy for about a week now, only running and lower body. Anyone ever torn or strained this muscle before? Any tips on healing? Also, everytime I sneeze it seems to re-pull the muscle, realllly painful. Thanks

It time that you seek a doctors approval on this. Continuous work on this could further damage your chest, and prevent recovery. I would stop all upper body workouts, until you get a "green light" from your doctor.

Remember, you're not only doing this to be fit, but also in good health.
