What Is The Treatment For Gastro Reflux?
My Xiphoid process is sore to touch and has moved to the left side and twisted a bit. It is tender to touch and may be a bit swollen. I have noticed an increase in gastric reflux and numbness in both hands when sleeping which may not be associated with the misshapen xiphoid.
