A member asked:
What causes a lump at the bottom of the sternum on a male and could it be associated with back pains?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal, no: Xiphoid process can be felt as lump....it has no link with back pain as such. But a tangential relationship can be established with low Vit D and calcium being common factor.
