Hi.
I am 26 years old and have been experiencing pain the region near where the sternum and collar bones join. It got really bad once when I took an hour flight - I couldn't even lift myself out of bed and only sitting up straight was ok. When I moved the pain was unbearable. I went to see a GP, but he couldn't see much wrong from an X-ray and said that it might be an inflammation. Anti-inflammatories helped but a dull pain has continued over 3 years. The pain is especially bad when I sit in an awkward position. Sometimes I feel pain in my ribs and collar bones as well. I do not have any sports injuries.
Please can you tell me what specialist to see.
