I can better explain the pain now because of it being since Wed night, early Thursday morning when it started. I am very sore, esp under my left pec muscle, like where the ribs are. Every movement, breath, burp hurts all around that area, and wraps around the entire left band. I'm not sure how I even got a pulled muscle if that is the case, because I rarely do any lifting. Might be the hug, but I'm not sure. I can tell along with the soreness that when I use my left arm for anything, it does aggravate it. I've put muscle rub, and heating pad on it, and they help a little.
