Accessory muscle in chest

Question

Asked for Female, 33 Years

HRCT detected accessory muscle under right breast. I have severe pain for last couple of years so got some ultasounds done but all came clear and HRCT found accessory muscle likely to be sternalis. What does it mean ? Is this causing such a severe pain ?
