...to pull a muscle? Ok so about a week ago when I was playing football, I remember taking a hit and landing on my left side. I noticed pain, but it eventually went away the next day. I stayed home from school for two days in a row after that, so I couldn't of done anything to strain the rib. Then since I have 1st period weight training, the first thing I start doing is benching. After two sets I immediately feel the pain on my left side again, and it was hurting more then it did that previous Monday. Now the pain is minor, but still irritating. Then when I do squats, I wear the support belt right on my rib, and I feel no pain whatsoever, and I was squatting an easy 315.
Whats a way to tell if its damage to my rib, or just a pulled muscle?
If it is a rib problem, what should I do to subdue the pain more?
If its a pulled muscle, what kind of stretching can I do to ease it?
