I'm really glad to find this board, and especially this thread. My left pec did something on my first day at the gym, doing leg curls of all things. I was face down on the bench, and something just gave way.
Walked it off, and did a week at the gym with no problem at all, then yesterday (11 days later), same thing happened in the same way on the same bench. Couldn't do anything. Couldn't even take a deep breath, like I had a cracked rib or something.
Took today off, and everything is much improved. Can breathe deep. I saw advice here to take 7 days off. I was kinda hoping to get back tomorrow... will the same thing happen again? (I'm new at this gym and don't want the staff to know how much of an idiot I am... they'll find out soon enough.)
I have a doctor's appt scheduled for May 22, 1 week from today.
Thanks -- great site!
