When the sternum hurts when you move, the first consideration is intercostal neuritis, as well as pain in the cartilage tissue of the chest wall, which usually does not have much effect and does not need to be overly concerned. Care should be taken to avoid anxiety and to divert attention at the right time. If the pain is severe, oral ibuprofen can be taken. If the pain is not relieved for a long time, it is recommended to go to the hospital for consultation and treatment and to do relevant examinations, such as x-ray, ECG, etc. to check the relevant parts to prevent organ lesions. In addition, you can do massage for treatment, as well as hot compresses for treatment. It is possible that wind, cold and dampness attack the sternum, which leads to local obstruction of blood flow and meridians, resulting in pain when the sternum is moved. It may also be due to liver discomfort and stagnant blood stasis, which causes stagnant blood stasis in the sternum and obstruction of the meridians, resulting in pain when the sternum is moved.
