I've been experiencing this pain for the last year whenever I stretch my chest after doing bench press at the gym. It's been quite a while, and I'm a bit concerned. What could be causing this, and should I be doing something different to prevent it?

I'm dealing with some really bad pain on my left side, kind of where the lower rib muscles are, and I think its from doing this really intense march past practice.

I've been hitting the gym for a couple of months now, and I'm thinking about starting protein powder. How many more months should I wait before it's okay to start taking it? And is it actually safe to include in my routine?

Question

I've been experiencing this mild pain on my lower left rib for about a week now, and it's pretty noticeable, especially when I touch the area. The pain seems localized to the rib bone itself, and doesnt feel like its coming from inside my stomach. I think it began after playing cricket recently. Could you give me some guidance on what might be causing this and what I should do about it?
