I was having the same exact pain so I was seen at the medical office where I work. My muscles in my rib cage became inflammed around my ribs because of the repititive motions of practicing pole. It was a month and a half ago that it happened but it will flare up off and on for quite some time. My pain was exactly like yours when it first started. It hurt to even sit down for long hours of time or to walk. It feels much better now but I still feel a pull there when doing certain movements and it is still weak. I suggest trying ice/heat and rest. If it isn't feeling better after those things I would probably go to the doctor to make sure it isn't anything more serious. Hope you feel better! ^_^

I also live in the Columbus Ohio area and I am looking for a pole! That one is perfect since I hope to one day open a pole studio and I would like to have poles that tall! How much money would you like for it?

If you don't mind me asking what is your general size? I am interested in the spider top as I had been thinking about buying it from Bad Kitty but I would like to not be stuck with a top I cannot wear also. : )

I didn't think it would be a problem and had never thought about it until my husband brought it up and made me paranoid! Thanks everyone!

It looks like this with a little less bumps.

Yes pressure mounted. I couldn't think of the actual term sorry. They aren't the panels you see in places like businesses or basements.

Don't give up!! It is so worth it when you see yourself improving. The excitement you have when you accomplish something new is worth going through more disappointing times! Each day is a new experience with pole. Some days for example I can do the most advanced pole moves I know while other days I feel like I can hardly lift myself off the ground. It takes dedication and a lot of patience. I am still trying to build strength in my arms and somedays I get really discouraged ( I've actually smacked my pole in frustration). I always force myself to go back to the pole though and keep trying. Maybe you could find a friend or family member to learn with you. I know that for me having my best friend there to show my new moves too and just to have someone there to encourage me helps a lot! Other than that though, I am very sorry for your injury. For an injury like that I would suggest starting off slow no matter what an individual's strength level may be and checking with your doctor to see if it is safe, even if the answer may no be what you want to hear. Injuring yourself worse won't help to speed up your process on the pole. but anyways good luck and please don't quit if it is safe for you to continue! It is all worth it in the end!
