MY son has a broken sternum from a snowmobile accident. How is it treated. That is what is the best way to imobilize it so it will stop popping and causing such pain.TIA falconBTW great service you are providing. However kept searching for Re; sternum and could not find it.

my fiance has a broken sternum. It hasn’t healed in 4 weeks. How do you treat it and what is the recovery time

I have a broken sternum from car accident. It keeps popping and, I think, moving out of position. Anything to keep it in place? How can it heal if it keeps moving?Any advice would be great.

In response to your question, I did something stupid at the gym and now I’m paying. I was told I bruised my sternum as well. I experienced the popping when I stretched and thought it was a good thing but it causes some discomfort when that happens. I’m not sure the recovery time it’s been a good 4 weeks for me but I re injured it 2 weeks in by lifting heavy things. From what I was told I would just have to deal with it because rib injuries would take time to heal. They said I could alternate with cold and hot compresses to get rid of swelling and pain. I hope this helps, please share your experience. Thanks
