A member asked:

How do i deal with manubrium sternum pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: If its arthritis, sometimes you need surgery to get this fused. We've had some good success fusing these if pain refuses to go away. This would be a surgery to place a plate and screws here to get the sternum and manubrium to fuse together.
