I tore my pec and because of the way my HMO works, it will be two weeks until I see an orthopedist. Is there anything I can be doing now to help the healing process?

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain

use ice and/or ib prufen for the pain until you can recieve medical help...just take it easy.

DO NOT TRAIN!!! Ice and ADVIL(ibuprofin) for the first day or two to keep the inflamation down. Then wait to see the doctor. I know that insurance(especially HMO's)covers ANY emergency room visit(even though they discourage you from doing so, so you'll see their doctors instead). It may be a good idea to get tended to sooner than two weeks for a torn pec...wait a tic...how do you know it is torn?!

May the lift be with you.

I went to see an orthopedist today and it is a torn pec. He said that the best thing today is rest. When the pain is gone to start back slowly and use light weights.
Thanks for your responses.
