Severe pain on right side of sternun

2023-09-26 17:44:42
I have severe pain along the right side of sternum and on the right side of sternun. The pain is intense in nature. It has been there for last 2.5 years. Making me disable each day. Physiotherapy could not help . Painkillers could not help. Got HRCT thorax done which found accessory muscle superficial to pectoral major on right side. What is the solution for this. Have been suffering from severe pain 24/7 for 2.5 years
