A member asked:
When i press firmly on my breast bone like the sternum between my breasts it hurts. is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bone pain: It is a very superficial bone with no muscle overlying it. It is normal for it to be tender if you push hard enough. If you feel that the pain is out of proportion to the amount of pressure you are applying then you should get an x-ray and your doctor may also feel a CT scan and MRI are also necessary.
