So, I've been having this pain for a while now...it sort of comes and goes, but feels like it's mainly in the ribs and sternum. I noticed it after subjecting to my body to months of a crazy fast exercise class where one part was doing press ups and then tricep dips. I remember sitting in position to do the dips and having to stop as soon as I lowered myself because of a shooting pain across my whole chest. Now it's more of a dull ache. Walking round town today and felt it again on the left, between my ribs. Doctor was quite dismissive when I mentioned it at my last appointment and told me to take painkillers.
Anyone had anything similar? I'm not out of breath of anything and notice it more after the gym where I'm doing exercises that affect my chest, like shoulder work. It's hard to describe, just feels like there's a radiating pain. I don't look inflamed as such, but my ribs and sternum feel pretty tender if I press them even slightly!
Also could all this cause a lymph node swelling? My body detecting it as something weird? :)
