Yes, I have pain in the sternum area too. I know there is a condition that specifically involves the xiphoid process bone called xiphoid syndrome or xiphoidalgia that can cause this pain. But I'm quite sure mine is from the Costo. From what I understand, if the sternum or xiphoid process bone is painful when you touch or press on it, then the pain may be from xiphoid syndrome. I have tried pressing there and it doesn't hurt any more than usual, so I think mine is simply from the Costo, which can cause pain in this area as well. Well I'm not an expert by any means, but this is what I have learned so far. Good luck!
