173 Intercostal muscle pain after pull ups 引体向上导致肋间肌受伤

173 Intercostal muscle pain after pull ups 引体向上导致肋间肌受伤

I bought a new toy —— two 3kg ankle weight. 


Then I used them to do side to side pull ups. And guess what I got rib pain when I did left side pull ups, while right side was perfectly all right.

I think it was on the third day, maybe, my rib was painful when I lie down or when I do deep chest breath. I thought chest muscle must have been stretched. On the fourth day, maybe, I can feel pain even when doing standing chest breathing or sneezing.

Then I tried to feel where is the pain, I realised it was the muscle between one of the rib with rib above and below it. Painful when I press it, deep breathing, getting up, turning my body, or when I raised my arm that pulled the relevant muscle. But then pain is minimal if I lean forward to do deep breath or sneeze.

Then I google for “rib pain after pull ups”. I realised it was intercostal muscle pain caused by pull ups. Nothing can be done except try not to further aggravate the injury, apply some ointment before sleep, and let the muscle to recover.

Dragon boat players were said to easily prone to such injury especially during the intensive training before a competition.




It is very inconvenient because a lot of things cannot do. Try not to stretch the intercostal muscle. Many actions that involved pulling cannot be performed because of pain.

Today is perhaps the tenth days? I think I feel slightly better this morning. The pain when doing standing deep breathing seems like reduce by a lot. Hopefully the recovery has started.

The last time I stretched my wrist, now I stretched my intercostal muscle. I must not get injured again.

最近买了新玩具——各3公斤的脚踝负重带。然后就带着它们做 side to side 引体向上。谁知第二天再做左边引体向上时,肋骨尽然会痛,右边没事。


到了第三吧,躺着要睡觉或做深胸式呼吸时,胸部觉得会痛。那时以为是胸部肌肉被拉到了。到第四天吧,不止躺着要睡觉或做深胸式呼吸时,连站着做深胸式呼吸、打喷嚏时,胸部也会觉得会痛。

然后就尝试摸摸看哪里痛,最终发觉是某一根肋骨跟上下肋骨之间的肌肉会痛。按着会痛,躺着深呼吸会痛,早上要起身会痛,翻身会痛,举手拉到相关肌肉也会痛。但向前倾斜深呼吸、打喷嚏就不大会痛。

过后上网搜“rib pain after pull ups”,发觉原来是引体向上导致肋间肌受伤了。什么也不能做,只能尽量不去扯到胸部的肌肉,临睡前涂跌打药酒,以便肋间肌可以慢慢修复。

据说划龙舟运动员在临比赛前的集训,因为必须划百次、千次也为导致肋间肌受伤。



很多动作不能做啊。尽量不再去拉到肋间肌。生活中很多必须拉扯的动作都不能做,会痛。

今天是第几天,第十天吗,早上起身觉得好像有稍微减轻了。站着做深呼吸似乎比较痛感减少很多。希望就此慢慢好转了。

上次拗到手腕,这次拉上肋间肌,不可以乱乱来了。
