What Causes A Painful Lump At The Base Of Sternum?

I have a lump in my chest between the breasts at the base of the sternum. It is hard and painful when pressure is put on it. In addition, I have been experiencing some pain in the middle of my back. I am a healthy 51 year old and dislike going to the doctor. Is this something I should be concerned with?
