    Default Swollen Xiphoid Process

    So, yeah the little bit at the bottom of my sternum has been swollen and sore for the past few days. It started after a night I worked, so I probably hurt it doing pole work, but I don't remember doing anything out of the ordinary. It hurts though and it sticks out a little when I lean back so it must be really really swollen. I took some advil and I'll head to the doctor if it doesn't go down in a couple days.

    Has anyone ever had this happen? Its so weird! I've bruised my tailbone before (similar sort of bone imo) and I remembered hitting it becuase it hurt like a mofo. I don't remember hitting my sternum on anything. So I worry that it could be something else. What do guys think?

    (I watch too much House MD and I'm a bit of a hypocondriac, so a weird swelling does not sit well with me.)

    I am impressed that you know the name of that. I didn't even realize it had a name.

    I have to admit I'd forgotten the name, but I knew it started with an x, so I looked it up on wiki.
