Default re extreme pain in sternum/chest wall

I don't know about anything like a true fracture or such with cracking your sternum but the extreme pain since yesterday part would warrent at least an Urgent Care visit for me if not an ER visit. It could be ligament that over stretched and is creating severe pain (costochondritis sp? can give severe chest wall pain I believe) or something like this. So I would start the diagnostic process with such a visit where likely w/the workup an xray would be taken (before an MRI). No I don't think you're crazy.. just probably did overdid something and have resulting pain because of that particular move.
