What Causes Progressing Pain In Sternum To Back And Right Arm?
I have intense progressive pain for the past 18 months located at the top of my sternum (the joint) which is swollen, I also have the same pain in my second rib from where it attaches to my sternum and I feel the pain all the way in my back, which is limiting my strength in my right arm. I have been lots of research the past 1.5 year.... my symptoms fits Gorham Disease, but its so rare. what can it be? Thanks

Hope this msg finds u in good health.
i have gone through your complaints and under stand your concern.
frome the complaints u have mentioned u might have some sort of costochondritis..which indicates swelling of sterno rib joint..and it generally takes a lot of time to heal.

Hope your question has been answered. if u have any follow up queries, feel free to consult me anytime thanks Take care god bless
