I feel for you. I tore the connective tissue away from my ribcage during a tournament a couple of years ago. An area just right of my sternum all the way around to my side just went on fire when I did it. I suffered through the end of the tournament hitting a 3 iron abut 140 because I could not swing properly. I went from 2 under to 7 over in just a few holes.

It took two trips to the ER before I got a Dr who also golfed. He diagnosed the problem and put me on a regimen of stretching and ibuprofen that set me right in about a month. It still acts up, but only if I don't properly stretch in cold weather.

Good luck.
