Chest Pain After Exercise: Possible Injury & What To Do

Question
I'm a 36 yr old female and I was doing tricep dips today during boot camp and had to stop.  I suddenly got a pain in the middle of my chest and my chest popped.  Every since then, the middle of my chest hurts and to the right side.  It hurts when I sneeze and I can't lift my child.  It hurts to move my arm across my chest.  I  have a ice pack on it hoping it will help a bit.  Any ideas on what I injured?

Answer
it sounds like you injured the joint between one of the ribs and the sternum.  These are joints, but they don't move that much, however they can still be injured.... these can nag for a few weeks because you can't "rest" them.  Sometimes a doctor might inject a little steroids in the area if it doesn't get better.
