Randomly feel a mild bruising pain on my sternum. no other systems, but had it for about a month, pain his lessened over time. curious what it is?

Costochondritis: I cannot make a diagnosis without having examined you or taken a complete history. Usually pain like that in a younger person is inflammation of the costochondral joint but you really should see a doctor so that you can be properly evaluated.
