?costochondritis: This may be an inflammation of the joint between the sternum and rib which results in pain and tenderness to the touch. ?Any history of injury or strain of this area? Try cold applications for a day or two and then switch to intermittent heat. Nsaids like ibuprofen,if you can take them, should help. See your Physician if there is a true lump or if symptoms persist.
