Hi, I fell down stairs last wednesday and I hit my back. But now I am experiencing sharp pain and pressure in my anterior sternum and it hurts a lot when I bend my chest to my stomach and when I raise up out of bed. I got several x-rays taken and the doctors said nothing is wrong. But I am in pain and I dont know what to do.
