Hi guys,

Just looking for some advice. I have a lump on my sturnum, on the left side. The lump is noticeable through t-shirts but I don’t know if it’s anything to be worried about, the lump is about the size of a large cherry. The lump doesn’t hurt in anyway and it’s not movable, if I had to describe the texture it feels like bone, it’s a rough oval shape. I don’t know if this is anything because it’s on my sternum rather than my breast. 

I’ve been to the doctors and they’ve suggested Costochondritis as a cause, especially as I’ve had a cold for a while, but the reason I’m not convinced is because Costochondritis causes pain and mine is painless. I often get a feeling of heaviness in my breath, but it’s intermittent not consistent. If anyone has any Ideas or advice I would be grateful!
