Re: Broken Xiphoid Process

I have somehow broken my xiphoid process sometime in the past and it sticks straight out. It is very painful at times and the doctor told me that the only possible rectification of this is to have it removed. She told me that this is usually almost always a painless procedure and that, atleast here in the states, is an out patient procedure. I haven't had it removed yet but plan on having the procedure done soon.
