Hello I am a 31 year old male and about 3 weeks ago I had a soccer accident and ever since then from the bottom of my sternum to my belly button hurts like I have torn the caritlage between my ab muscles and now I have a lump right below my sternum that hurts to touch .
Hi. I am afraid that the lump you described could be a hernia .if it is in soft tissue it may be hernia that needs treatment .if it is in the bone then it is just a contusion.
