 Posted: 04/30/06 - 00:00 Post subject: Sternomanubrial Joint Popping |
  |
|
I have a major chest problem. The cartilage in the sternomanubrial joint is popping in and out of the joint when I breathe in and out. The cardiothoracic surgeon has never seen it, but he recommended a surgery, he recommended wireing it together so it can't flex. Has anyone had this kind of surgery or know anything about it?

I went to the doctors because of discomfort in my chest I’ve been having and sometimes there is a popping sound too. He sent me to hospital for x-ray of my chest and everything. Then I saw another doctor who ensured me that this is nothing to worry about. After few days he phoned me and said that he is concerned about my discomfort in anterior chest and he thinks that can be relived if he can make my sternum click. He has no doubt that this is coming from the sternomanubrial joint, usually this joint fuses with time. He suggested that he should treat me conservatively and wait to see how progress matters. I am going to see him Monday morning.

Wow I thought I was the only person with this problem, mine started about 3 years ago, with loud poping and got worse now when i breath you can feel and hear the damaged cartlage go in and out of the jont. I saw 5 different surgons. Each one had a different solution, one wanted to wire it, one wanted to put a metal plate in my chest, one said just live with it and one wanted to just cut out the cartlage. None had ever seen this before so I did not trust any. So far I have just lived with it but sometimes wonder about the long term effect.
Have either of you had anything done about it yet?? |
