A rare muscle
The entire right side of my sternum is little protruded as compared to left side.I never noticed it until I got the severe pain under my right breast and that pain persisted for 2 years. USGs came out normal and finally HRCT was done if there was something wrong with my lungs. HRCT also came out normal but showed presence of sternalis muscle on right side which is a rare muscle. I am in severe pain for past 3 years. Can this muscle be removed ? Note - the pain started during lactation and never went and causing disability now.

try reducing the use of your hand for holding activities like mobile, feeding the child or doing work in awkward postures for your shoulder or mouse use or any similar stressful activities.
