i went to selection in September, class 10-11. midway through gate week i started having to "crack" my sternum to be able to breath comfortably. has anyone else run across this from selection? i am hoping it is a temporary side effect of carrying around telephone poles.i have been home 3 weeks now and have resumed regular pt. after chest exercises it is slightly uncomfortable in my sternum when i turn my head to the extreme left or right,especially while holding a deep breath. also the feeling of "needing to crack" my sternum is still there. it is not especially painful or limiting, just worrisome.
