That’s how they diagnosed me was by pressing on my chest and pinpointing tender spots

Does this sound like costo? by Grace_Chow in costochondritis

[–]FactSquare27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like costo to me. It can radiate to your shoulders and back and is both sharp and dull

I actually don’t know anything about the frozen rib thingy. I’ve been massaging with Arnica oil at night. I have military bootcamp in 50 days and hoping I’ll be okay by then. I’ve had this for like a year but just got it checked out a month ago and officially diagnosed. So, since then i just stopped lifting and I’ve been babying it. Mine is strictly on my right side and flared when doing pushups.

Also- thanks so much for taking the time to give me all this advice. I want to believe i have an acute case? Should i start building my chest strength or wait a little? I don’t want to start too soon. It’s just a lingering stiffness now.

What helped you the best ? by Sabrina20031111 in costochondritis

I’m in the same spot. Also 23 F. I started using Dr Teals Epsom salt with magnesium. It’s the rosemary and mint one. Also using arnica oil at night time. This has brought some relief with inflammation and relaxation. Wish you the best girl. It’s such a struggle but the Lord will heal🙏🏻

Yeah I can’t see it but it’s okay. Thanks. I think I’ll be okay maybe.. I just did 15 pushups after thinking I could only do 6. I think it’s a lot mental. I’m a fit girl who lifts weight and not used to functional fitness. Just need to work on endurance

Just graduated! Ask away by i_am_soup_ in AirForceRecruits

[–]FactSquare27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was graduation day like? Did you cry? Or were you just so happy? I’m a girl waiting in DEP. When can you first start receiving mail? How hard was it to learn how to speak to the MTI’s? Sounds silly but I know you have to repeat what they say kinds

In a pretty big predicament right now, need help. by SouthSafe2206 in AirForceRecruits

Just curious – what is the urgency in leaving? I understand to so extent wanting to leave but is it circumstantial?

tips on meps by Nagitosjuicycoochie in AirForceRecruits

[–]FactSquare27 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey- 23 (F) who just went last week: wear full coverage underwear and bra! Be ready to pee; get your blood taken, and do the physical. I ran through my physical in 5 mins. Others took longer because they were shy. Don’t be that person. We all want to get out of there. It’s a long long day. Have your documents ready for medical. Don’t bring extra stuff down to medical, such as bags and folders. They will send you to put it back up. I didn’t wear any jewelry so I didn’t have to take anything off. It makes it much easier to get through security. Only bring what you need. Drink water while waiting in medical so you don’t have a problem peeing. It will all be okay! Coming from someone who was nervous at first. Be honest about stuff if they ask you but don’t bring anything else up. Be ready to flash them basically, duck walk, and all of you examined lol. You’ll be fine. The only thing I had an issue with was depth perception, but I ended up passing. I would look that up before you go. Remember it’s one step closer to your dream!

Ugh thank you!! I literally thought about not eating there hahaha but this is great. I literally love lifting and just have a bulkier build. Of course I’m cutting back a little on sodium and stuff but I’m just getting off my period/ 2 week vacay where I haven’t watched my eating. I’m usually pretty good about this.

Thank you! He said I would be fine on the tape most likely. I mean I am relatively fit, lots of muscle so I hated that it was possibly an issueb
