You sprained your: breastbone/rib joint...most likely.This can b reproduced and identified by carefully pressing down along these joints on both sides of the breastbone,where each rib connects.Pain can be reduced by Advil or Aleve (naproxen).It will go away in days to weeks,just like a sprain.If really bad pain,U can get a shot of cortisone to the tender joint.If persists,have your doc take a look.??
