Last year at the start of the shutdown, I spent a lot of time swinging. In April I injured myself and have costochondritis. I am curious if anybody else here has had or does have this.

I love golf but unfortunately, the best I can do is swing for a week or two and then I’m having to take off 2-3 weeks due to rib pain. I can’t make any progress and I’ve had to stay away from the board because it will do my injury no good.

Over the as 6 weeks or so, I’ve shut down completely and am trying to heal. The worst part is that it doesn’t get any better with rest or RICE. 
 

I’ve gotten so desperate to heal this injury, that I’ve resorted to all sorts of things. Yoga, herbal remedies, and stretching among other more drastic things. I’ve seen the topics of intercoastal muscle strains and rib fractures come up here. I’m just hoping that I’m not alone in this and maybe someone here has successfully gotten over Costochondritis. 
 

I love golf and I love practicing. But I can’t fill the desire that I have to play because I’m physically not able. I’ve got a young’n that im trying to raise I in the game and I want to become a good player before he realizes I suck! (Half kidding here)

if im alone, on this board with this issue, please pray for me, im at my whits end!

    • I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙
    • Day 28: 2026.01.30 Managed to make time for a few swings out back today. Need a proper bit of range time this weekend.
    • Day 30, 1/30.  Six minutes this morning hitting a few more range balls, indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Did this before leaving the house.

    • Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
