I felt a crack in the sternum whilst working out in the gym. The pain is quite severe . I visited my doctor who suggested that I had bruised the cartilage and that all I can do is take pain killers,the pain is still severe after a week. Is this a long process of healing and should I give up working out ?
Dear sir/mam the healing process usually takes from 3 to 6 weeks so have patience and try to rest. If continue to exercise you may develop a chronic pain or this will last longer
