Hit a tree last weekend doing a 24 hour MTB race. Have full range of motion, but feels like someone is jabbing my muscle in my right pec with stick when I engage my chest muscles (to cough, sneeze, roll over) any thoughts...its been a week and still sore. Had the on-site med team look at it, they let me continue riding through the night.

  I would go see a doctor if its been that long and you still have pain.

  Sounds like you may have cracked a rib. They can take quite a while to heal. I know, I have cracked a lot of them. They tend to heal on their own just fine, but if seeing a Dr is an option for you, it wouldn't be a bad idea.
