Sternum... (I guess)
Has anyone ever hurt their chest doing the snake dive?
I didn't bang the pole or anything... can you hurt your bones pulling? or is it muscle pain? It hurts when I take deep breaths... right in the middle...

I have a damaged sternum. It is easy to hurt one's sternum because it flexes and can "pop out" from a sudden impact. Just take it easy for a while. One treatment is to fill a cotton sock with uncooked rice grains, put in the microwave until warm, (not burning hot) appx. 10 seconds, and when safe to do so, press the sock against your sternum.



Cool... Thank you for that...
I had no idea it that could happen to it...
It really hurts though.. LOL. I hate laughing or moving my arms... etc...![]()
go see a doctor! If it's just a little bruise on your sternum, at least you know, but if it's more serious, you can treat it before it gets any worse.


Holy f-cko Montana don't f-ck around with this. Pardon the hyphenated language. Could be something could be nothing, but anything mid-chest could be heart. Not saying heart attack, but irregular heartbeat. That could be harmless, but it could be very serious. I have two close friends who've died from that. Risk goes up if you spend a lot of time doing physical work, like athletics, carpentry..... dancing.
And don't say it went away. It went away for my friend. For two years. Then he dropped dead. When he was 25.
Please. If not for you, for the cutie in the avatar. Better to be safe than sorry.
