What Causes Pain In The Sternum?
I have pain in my sternum and somewhat above especially when I swallow. Sort of like when you swallow too much food at once. The only trauma I can relate to it is that I took a butt end of hockey stick in the high stomach area a couple of weeks ago, but I don t think that is it. Thank you

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The pain in the sternum indicates possible muscle or ligament insult following blunt injury with hockey stick. I recommend ice application, local application of analgesic spray, oral intake of PPI and anti inflammatory drugs. Consuming soft, easily digestible diet,avoid non veg, spices, hard stuffs to be chewed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
