    I have the same thing happen to me it wanes with me if I move a certain way or if I been over a certain way I will have a sharp pain in between the ribs and also under my breast. and in the back .like I got stabbed. now I had it for 15 years and I'm getting arthritis setting in when the weather changes I get them more than I ever had them . when I'm somewhere out in about or driving my car I can have and attack . but mostly if I move a certain way. heavy and painful. I always rub my sternum bone and rub it because it feels like there rubbing. hard on each other. all I can do is wait for it to pass heatchelps are Aleve . but what your describing is all related to costo.

    Hi Brenda

    mine wanes. it comes and goes. coso is caused by having teams to the chest. it's caused by a strain in your sternum. pulled muscel mine was from trying to pull a picnic table that was cemented to the ground . I was trying to make room for. my daughters birthday party at a park and didnt realise that it was cemented. and pull the muscle . I took asprins . felt better but from day to day it got worse . had all kind of testing done . than one time a Dr told me I had coso and that it don't show even in a mri I can go for a long time with out a flare up . than something will trigger it and I have the whole crazy pain again. all u can do is Aleve or Advil. ice pack and hot pack heating pad.
