Sternum Problems

Sent to Health Experts August 01, 2005 3:50 p.m.

My sternum has recetly started to feel like it constricts. The only way to relieve the pain/discomfort is to put my hands behind my back and stretch my arms out and lift my chin up to the ceiling. When i do this it cracks all the way up my sternum, sometimes the cracks are loud and a little scara and i was wondering if this is something i should worry about. My father had the same thing when he was my age and ended up getting surgery.
