Seek and Destroy

Now as you might guess, a professional athlete suffers from injuries from time to time. Me, being no exception to this but being an exceptional athlete (yes, a dancer is an athlete), have an odd injury at the moment. I cannot pinpoint the exact time it may have occurred, or even what could possibly have done it, but either way it has been hurt.

For the last almost two months, I have had an odd pain in my right chestal region above the pectoral. It's quite deep and hard to pinpoint exactly, so let's just say it's near my right boob. I prefer the name "pectoral" but we'll use the common term at the moment. It may have something to do with my shoulder, or not, and occurs quite often mostly when I press my shoulders down or stick my chest out, etc. Common momevents, all of them.

While I have been resting for the last week from lifting weights, since that may be the culprit, I have devised a test to see if I can make some improvement. Armed with Tigerbalm and IcyHot, I am ready.

Operation Man-Breast

Objective: Nuetralize chest pain, at least temporarily.

Tactics: Full breastal assault with Tigerbalm or IcyHot. No area of the breastal region must be excluded. A complete numbness or Icy and Hottness of the right man-breast (or pectoral, if you wish) must be accomplished.

Outcome: Still feel some of the pain or soreness, however the right boob is quite cold and sort-of numb from the IcyHot. Very strange, yet at the same time kind-of exciting. Outwardly appears as though I rubbed my right breast in baby oil. Not sure if that's hot or not. Nipple has also become intensly sensitive. I could cut glass with this sucker. Alrighty then.

Operation Man-Breast: Inconclusive.

Stay tuned for more news on the area just above my right boob.
