Hello,
It looks from your details that most probably you may have strained your joints around sternum. Do not bother do following to have relief:
- Avoid lifting heavy weight.
- To warm fomentation with help of water bag around chest.
- Take a mild analgesic like advil for relief.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
