    Question Pectoral stretch

    I will take this to my doctor soon, but I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced a really bad case of the pectoral stretch. April 9th, I jumped off a 15 footer at Kirkwood and landed too far in the backseat with the result that I got a massive pectoral stretch as my arms caught the snow. I hurt like hell the first 10 seconds but then got bearable for the rest of the day. But my sternum is still sore, 3 months later. Any advice and/or experiences from anyone?

    Why don't you shut the fuck up

    [whine] but it hurts [\whine]

    I'm mostly concerned about a similar situation happening next season if I'm not 100% healed. I guess it's not a problem as long as I stick my landings.

    Sounds like maybe a case of a separated rib ( google : costocartilage separation). The rib separates from the cartilage it attaches to. Very painful, very long time to heal.

    Hmmm, worked out today and it didn't feel bad at all, even when I did bench presses. Let's see tomorrow.

    I've had my chest hurt after really bad backseat landings on very large airs into deep but heavy snow. It seems like my arms/shoulders both get thrown inwards towards my chest at high speed on landing. It usually only hurts for a minute or two though.
