sternum pain?

happened a while back doing weighted dips...the little bars that u stand on, well i missed them and the 100lb plate took me to the ground meanwhile my arms were still holding the dip bars...OWWY!!! i felt pain most of the time UNTIL i was doin a fast bench press excercise and i let the bar hit my chest and i think that was the STRAW that broke the camels back(my sternum) and now it hurts all the time....im in the middle of a GOAL right now so i just cant stop.....any ideas??? i mean how do u heal a broken sternum??? hehe

Yes. See a DR. Get it X-rayed. If you continue on as if nothing, you could very well end up with an injury that will follow you around for life.

Take the time to do the right thing. Get it checked out and lay off the benching.
