A member asked:
I woke up with an area of my chest being uncomfortable. i thought id wait it out the day but as the day progressed the pain got worse and moving my left arm hurts. there is a bump where my clavicle meets my sternum and thats where the pain is. ?

Joint: That joint is most likely inflamed or strained. Tenderness of the joint would be quite diagnostic. Avoid straining the area, apply alternating cold and warm compresses, apply liniment like Bengay, and, if you can take them, try taking anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen or naproxen for a week or so. See your MD if not improved.
