My sternum between my breasts hurts to the touch and hurts when i lay on my side also when i flex the area. it's been on going for awhile. any ideas?

Treatment: Local heat to reduce spasm. Topical sports cream or capsaicin cream will help relieve pain. Advil or Aleve or tylenol (acetaminophen) as per label on bottle. If not better in 2 weeks, see doctor for prescription anti inflammatory meds or referral to physical therapy. Last resort: local injection into costochondral joints (where ribs attach to sternum).
