Sternum swelling at bottom
I have swelling at the bottom of my sternum between the bottom of my ribs which can sometimes be abit achy. I can also hear a click/cracking sound when I stretch or press the area gently? I have no idea what could be causing this as I don't think I have damaged the area at all?
