Be examined: A year is a long time to experience pain and to have a persistent lump. Be examined and sort why you have had problems so long. All the best.

Exam and X-ray: you could have injured the sternum or some of the cartilages that attached the ribs to the sternum. An exam with pressing over the sternum and an X-ray to see if there is a fracture or calcium deposit from an injury should be able to diagnose the problem. Feel better!
