Should I Be Worried About Pain In The Sternum?
my friend is experiencing pain on the sternum, she is a female and is 17
she consulted a doctor, the doctor gave her some meds and told her that if not cured with medications a surgery will be required, the doctor mentioned about some extension or bulging behind the sternum, he has asked her to take medications and re consult after a week, should i be worried?

I am not sure about this diagnosis. I would suggest you to take second opinion and also get a CT scan to see if there is such growth . I do not think that you need to rush for surgery.
