    Iv got it in the same place and the pain shoots down my left arm and sometime all my joints hurt, my back is hurting also like a achy feeling, the doctor diagnosed me with Tietze syndrome I never knew it could cause all this pain every single day on and off and painkillers don’t touch the pain

    pain just under you chest right along the cartilage that leads to the sternum is common, it get this on both sides left and right at times, also rib pain and upper chest 1 inch or so from the sternum on either side, try using a supportive wrap and putting hot or cold on it and have the wrap hold it in place, the constant pressure from a wrap helps ease the pain for me

    Just wanted to reply to those of you wondering how long my pain has lasted. It actually went away a lot during the summer but the last couple of months it's been off and on again. I still take ibuprofen when it flares up and I need some relief. Hang in there! I wish i could tell you I don't suffer with the breast pain and sternum and rib tenderness anymore, but unfortunately that isn't the case for me. I hope you all get relief soon!

    I have it and feel pain on breast and nipple. I am worried if anyone has the pain on nipple like me. I am also worry if the pain will get worse. Some has the serious symptom.

      Thank you for sharing. Currently, I am taking ibuprofen pills. I notice that the nipple and area around nipple gets swollen a bit. Did you have the same symptom? I sometimes can't identify exactly that the pain feeling comes from breast or nipple. I may have to take ultrasound and mammogram.

      Thanks so much for the advice. I will take ultrasound and mammogram. Hopefully, the swollen bone will recover.

    I am almost positive this is what I have... I am nervous enough that I am running to the doctor to rule out breast cancer, but this constant burning sensation radiating to arm and shoulder (especially on that side) and I feel swollen. It feels better if I lay flat on my back and push my breast up on that side, but I also have noticed slight swelling on lower half of my breast starting right at the areola and also at the rib... I was wondering if anyone else has gotten just that smidge of swollen tissue in the actual breast from this? I take Aleve and it barely touches on the pain, but I did notice the more walking I do the better it is and sitting is extremely painful!
