Solar plexis pain diagnosis?


Question:
For ten days I've had pain right around my solar plexis like someone is stabbing me and twisting the knife. I thought it could be hiatal hernia but I don't have any other symptoms listed for "GERD". No indigestion or "burning" or coughing or burping. What else could it be stabbing my solar plexis? Maybe ulcer? Please give me a big list of ailments to research! thanks,

30/m/6' tall/170/in-shape.

Answer:
A common cause of sternal pain is costochondritis - inflammation of the ligaments that attach the ribs to the sternum. The pain can also develop if one of the ribs slips slightly our of alignment. These things usually clear up on their own, but you may recover faster if you try a variety of stretching exercises to stretch your pectoral muscles and muscles between the ribs. Chiropractors are helpful at treating these things and keeping them from returning.
