Rib/Sternum Pain

After dealing with my rib/sternum pain for a couple weeks, I went to see a doctor and had a back adjustment, rib adjustment, and Active Release Therapy. Still not getting relief from the pain, I went to my MD to get a chest Xray to see if I had a crack in my sternum or a broken rib. Nope, the Xray was normal - I feel like I need physical proof for my pain. Now, I've had 2 cold laser treatments to reduce the inflammation in hopes to reduce the pain.

I put a star over the area that hurts.

I can't believe how many activities trigger pain in my chest; everything from putting on my seat belt, looking over my shoulder, reaching, turning, twisting, etc. The first doctor I saw thinks it is Costochondritis. It's an inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone (sternum). It causes sharp pain in the costosternal joint — where your ribs and breastbone are joined by rubbery cartilage. All I can do is "rest the area", do stretches and wait for it to stop hurting; it's been about 4 weeks, but little by little it's getting better.
