Does Does A Protruding Bone In The Center Of The Chest Indicate?
TONIGHT I Discovered a sharp bone in the center of my chest which I learned or think is called a xiphoid process, it seems to be a little off center to the left of my rib cage as a whole and feels like it gets sore occasionally. Is the off centeredness or soreness normal. It does not get sore often and I don t know why it has taken me so long to feel it. I am 52 years old male. Thanks.
