Yesterday I developed some pain in the rib area, in the dorsal thoracic. I had trouble drawing a full breath at all. It was very similar to some past thoracic strains I've had, but not like the back going out. It's more like muscle pain from weightlifting. I still have some pain drawing a full breath but it's much improved, and reduced to the bottom of the shoulder blade area.
I put this here rather than in Health, because I think I know what caused it. I was singing next to an unusually skilled and powerful singer, and I was inspired to do the best I could to match him. I wasn't really attending to my breathing, but I think that I must have supported more and moved more air. If so, I just have sore muscles from an unaccustomed workout, not an injury per se.
That doesn't happen when I play trombone. But the obvious question is, should it? Are those muscles sore because they haven't been used?
Trumpet players say that the next day after a really hard gig their back is sore, not their chops, if they're doing it right.
Aching ribs curiosity, breathing
