had just increased my incline db fly to 50 lb db's. i was about a week into using this weight for the exercise and felt a pull in my neck. i ended up tearing what the Dr. called a strap muscle which runs along your trachea and supports it. i also ended up with air in my pericardial sac around my heart. i know i have to stop lifting for a couple weeks because of the air in my chest cavity, but has anyone torn their strap muscle and how long does it take to rehab and is there a proper way to rehab it effectively and safely

yea, even my doctor said to just rest and not lift for a month, and the physical therapist just looked confused when i asked how to rehab it, i hate not being able to work out, now i'm gonna look like my pic again lol, this sucks

If your not in the middle of your cycle, then that would be a good thing. As far as how fast it heals? Depends on the individual.Some people heal really fast.You can always see a orthopedic surgeon for a consult.Ask for a MRI if it doesn't get better.
