Did you heal?

As someone with a shoulder injury, this channel has been a godsend. I've been doing their treatments all day today. I am hoping to improve my posture significantly in addition!

StanicEnemy is small swelling in the left side of the chest never seems to go away 10 years now interfere with the heart what can I do no doctor seems to identify with it

Good to hear. Best of luck! Bob

how is it now? did it recover?

Hi just strained my peck 6 days ago. Feeling some what better now. Just curious how are you doing and how long did it take you to heal?

@@mbyosoyyo25 Hi, sorry to hear you have suffered a similar injury as well. I am doing fine now, thanks. The recovery took at least 8 weeks. During that periode I did go to the gym twice a week as usual yet I incorporated the advice from my physiotherapist for chest exercises: slow repitions, low weights and slowly increasing the weights. And by slow he meant really slow. My max is 100kg for the last bench press set and I start warming up for that exercise using only the barbell. Then 10kg each side with I increase each set with 5kg each side. But now I had to do smaller steps as I was explained that the percentage of weight increase was quite big. So I started with 10kg each side and took steps of 2,5kg instead. Keep doinf that for 2 weeks before increasing the load. And I had to focus on the feeling in my injured peck: a very faint and mild pain is not bad. A bit more is too much. That is very subjective yet I knew what the physiotherapist meant as over the years I had more injuries which were not fitness related such as a major back surgery to avoid becoming fully paraplegic. To recover from that requires similar process in getting confidence in your body and recognizing signals of pain and seperating them into good, warning and bad signals. So basic thing is: keep moving the injured muscle and keep exercising it yet with much slower reps and slow increase of the weights. And stretch frequently like in this video, nornals stretch after 2 sers which I still do nowadays. For bench press specifically I advice you to check the Athlean-X video about that. Jeff Cavalier is a physio himself so he knows what he's talking about. Very useful stuff to improve your movement while working out.

@@cornpit77 thank you so much for that information.

@@cornpit77 could I ask if your initial pain too was very minimal? I think I did the same too. I had 10days off and did the foolish thing to pick up where I left off and injured it today. I'm hoping recurrence doesn't occur too. I'm still just 26 and that would suck. I just pulled my rhomboid couple weeks ago and hence the break

@@eliyadevan5301 Yes, it was very minimal. First signs were nothing out of the ordinary. But the last push that set off things I could clearly feel a more deep pain. Just take your time and slowly build up your weight as explained above. Had no issues after the recovery anymore. Just train repsonsibly, check Athlean-X for good advice on proper setup and movement during common exercises. Or ask a gym instructor with a background in physiotherapy to go through your exercises. These guys know so much about training responsibly. Personally I don't listen to bro-science anymore. Did a session with such an instructor for starting deadlifts. Never dared to do deadlifts as I have had severy back surgery 15yrs ago but learned this year that deadlifts, if done responsibly and with good technique can actually prevent back injuries. Taking a few steps back for a couple of weeks or even some months doesn't hurt your long term abilto workout. Overdoing things too quickly after injuries can permanently put you out of the gym. Good luck and take responsible steps. 👍🏻

Update, pain is almost gone. It was really severe, i couldn't stand it. This video has definitely speeded up my healing a hundred fold. I don't know how, but it did and i was desperate because i don't take pain relief medicine. I try to do Everything naturally. It's good!!! Helped me sleep too which i was in dire need of.

@@jennyjohnson7751 thankful

How was it?

@@abu_alii did not help me. I went through several more months of physical therapy, stretching, exercises, oral medication, topical cream, MRI, then most recently a Cortizone injection. A little over a year with the pain. The MRI showed I had an inflamed shoulder ACL. Everything else looked fine. There’s a lot going on in the shoulder joint. It can be hard to diagnose. I thought it was a Peck. Physical therapist thought it was a bicep tendon. turned out to be the ACL. They all tie in at pretty much the same spot.

@@MrSirDudeGuydid u recover ?

@@alihatem1349 after the first injection, it felt amazing. I started lifting weights again full blast and living life. I thought I was in the clear. But, the pain came back after about 2 months. I know what did it. I got a second injection and it felt amazing again. I’m taking it easy this time and it’s been over two months and still feeling great. I’m hoping I finally beat it. I’m working around it with weight training and it’s going well so far.

Nigel Bell did the massaging end up helping???

Hugo Wentzel slightly but not 100%

Disregard this. My orthopedic originally thought it was a strain, but after a mri I am being told it is a stress reaction of coracoid process. This video can still be beneficial, also speak with orthopedic and possibly bring up stress reaction of coracoid process. It may save you a few unnecessary trip of different orthopedics

What time frame did it end up healing for you?

How did you get on? I did the same but only on my left side. Its only been 3 weeks it getting better but not 100% yet and still swolen

@@craighundzinski2869 about two months.

@@stephena5752 Did you workout normally for 2 months or you took rest completely for two months?

Same here. Reinjured my left pec minor by doing pushups without warmup, not even maxing out on the bench. Good thing the injury is much less substantial then the first time. Gonna focus on the form more. A common theme I've notice on both injuries is I was fatigued from having not enough sleep the night before, wasn't properly hydrated and didn't warmup enough which led to from breakdown - all these compounded factors led to the injury I believe. From now on am gonna focus on these things more and If I'm not feeling it right might just deload or skip the session altogether. Health and longevity is more important than gains at this point. Good luck with your rehab!

Maybe warm up the chest with some dumb bell floor flies before benching? The time under tension approach is much safer as far as decreasing injury.

@@collinjohnson7006 This just happend to me. I tore the left one twice. This time the right each time it happend on my last set but not even that heavy. It was 5x8 at 225. However this time I did bench 3x this week. Mon Wed and today which is Fri. Do you think that the 3x a week bench is the cause

@Shawn T Williams Powerlifter lol there are so many insecure people who comment there "max" on videos like these

@Shawn T Williams Powerlifter no its not. I just watched multiple videos of guys who are 60 or older and can bench over 465..

Did it?

Did you have left side upper back pain as well? Did it feel like heart pain

Did it heal?

Did it help

@@jasminx8953 If someone has left side upper back pain with the left pec minor injury pain then what does that mean ?

same!

A lil late, but sounds like costochondritis. The reason youre feeling this pain is because maybe you are too hunched over when doing dips. I suggest trying out straight bar dips which may feel more natural to some compared to parallel bar dips. Also, try rolling out your lats and thoracic spine to allow for external rotation in your shoulders, which will help with posture

Costo

Thank you :)
