What Causes Pain In The Right Side Of The Sternum?
I have had pain in my right side, originating from my sternum and going around to my right side. I play golf and possibly injured my oblique according to my Dr. He put me on anti inflammatories. It hurts directly below my rib cage constantly. It has been hurting now for over a month.

Hello,
As the intensity of pain is significant and history of golf play, I would suggest to undergo an MRI chest for the final diagnosis of muscle sprain, ligament tear or rib cage related conditions. Would like to assist further once the report is available.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
