Question 3

I'm having this pain on the right side of my sternum and the MRI mentioned something about subchondral cystic changes. It really bothers me because the pain gets better when I lie on my back, but it comes back as soon as I start moving around or even when I'm just walking. What could be causing this and is there something I should be doing to help with the pain?
