Anyone ever dealt with this ? Looking for any suggestions or ideas to get over it ! This started about 4 months ago, I very rarely go to the doctor, but ended up going because of chest pains etc .. Heart checked out fine , month or so goes by and I then get an X-ray of chest / ribs and that all checked out fine as well . Main symptom has been constant sternum popping and a dull pain in the sternum area. PCP told me it was Costochondritis , gave me a steroid shot and basically said let it run its course .
