Right Sternum pain. Temporarily goes away when I massage my Rhomboids.
For 4yrs I've been experiencing pain on what feels like around my right sternum. I can definitely feel it its coming from my chest area, and can really excaberate it when i put my chest outwards or when I squeeze my traps upward then quickly bring my shoulders down.
However, one day I use a foam roller to massage my back and weirdly the pain from my sternum is gone. Its weird cause I was trying to reproduce the pain that i get from certain movements that im used to and its gone, but its only temporary and comes back couple of hours later.
Now, after trial and error I specifically located which part on my back triggers this instant relief, and its on my right rhomboid... now using a lacrose ball i massage it for 5mins 3x a day and get instant relief upto the front of my chest that i dont feel any sort of pain even when i try to stretch my arms out trying to reproduce the pain i once felt.
I wonder if anyone relates?
