Guest guest Report post Posted July 3, 2001 Anybody ever have a strain of the xiphoid process? It's the small bone/cartilage at the bottom of the sternum. It's not particularly painful, but a rather sharp twinge when moving arms when my chest is inflated. It doesn't happen with every movement, but it happens enough even with surya namaskara (sp?) that I feel like I should give it a rest.<br><br>Thoughts?<br><br>Namaste,<br><br>Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted July 3, 2001 Hi ya, Jim..<br><br>I haven't had probs w/the xyphoid (sounds like typhoid, eh? hehe) process but with the actually sternum from time to time. It will become a bit inflamed and sore..interesting..suppose this happens when one is over 30 yrs old..hehe.<br><br>Robin M. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted July 4, 2001 Hi Robin,<br><br>Thanks for your response. Perhaps the xyphoid problem is what happens when you are way over 30! LOL<br><br>How did you work through the sternum inflammation? Ease off or just press through it? How long did it take?<br><br>Namaste,<br><br>Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
