My xiphoid process hurts to touch and in waves i get pain in different parts of my abdomen ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Xiphoid: The xiphoid process is a cartilage at the bottom of the sternum and as such can become tender or irritated. However it shouldn't cause waves of discomfort in other areas of the abdomen as the tenderness is well localized to the end it the sternum. If you're experiencing frequent abdominal discomfort and tenderness in the actual abdomen,you should be evaluated by a physician.
