    Fellow medical colleagues, I need your expertise. Ever since about a month ago when I failed at an air and ended up landing on my board stomach first I've been having some acute pinching problems in my upper left rib cage. At first I thought it was pretty serious like a heart issue but it's so close to the surface it just can't be. Feels like someone is poking me with a small needle or something.

    Have been surfing a lot since then and I doubt laying on the board hasn't helped much either. I usually get it when I sit down for longer periods of time at work or while at home watching TV.

    Anyone experienced anything like this?

    This sounds like a chest bone issue to me.

    I concur. Listen to Shelldonne, he does a great job diagnosing chest bone issues all the time. Unfortunately it seems that Paulie has abandonned us so I think you're on your own here.

    Seems like it... I'm guessing surfing more hasn't helped the issue more either.

    Sounds like a Zika mosqueetoe transmitting a nasty virus that will shrink your head and brain, assuming of course that you even have a brain.

    Try bench presses, I read on this here forumme that it helps most ailmentes.
    Seriously though, that sucks. Hope it heals soon for you, at least you still getting out into the water. I'm a firm believer in ocean water cures

    Have you tried doing the same maneuver but land on the right side this time? Evening things out might help.

    No that's just a disease made by the illuminati for population control to prevent all the people down south from having babies, genius though. Your shillings are en route though.
