Ok when I was a freshman in college (4 years ago) I could do dips seemingly forever, yeh not forever but I could do a lot. Anyway something happened to me and I don't know what but it really hurts my sternum to do dips now, almost like something broke. Well normally it doesn't hurt but I can't do dips, its instantly too much pain - I suppose cause it pulls the ribs apart. Normally I can just deal with it since it doens't hurt when its not stressed in that way, but if I sneeze sometimes my sternum "pops" and man that hurts, and it will hurt for several minutes afterwards.
Now I know I'm not the only person to have this cause one of my friends has the exact same symptoms. I was just wondering if anyone knows what this really is, and if there is something that can be done to fix it.
