Pain near Sternum: Pain near Sternum with neck and back pain can be due to: muscle spasm (from heavy lifting, trauma, anxiety); GI reflux or gas can cause pain under sternum and back pain; back pain and neck pain should be evaluated for other unusual causes such as an aneurysm which is more common in older people.
