Re: Broken Xiphoid Process

My Father has an inherniated disc C-4,5,6,& 7 to start off with. Now he has had that problem since 2003. This other problem in which i'm about to explain has just arrived here recently and i would like to know how to approach the situation.
Now in the last couple of months my Fathers Xiphoid Process started to swell up, and protrude out of his chest, it's very painful and sore. Now it last about 2-3 days and then just goes down but never goes completely away. This last time of the present it seems to be getting harder to deal with and i need answers. So if you can please help me with some simple knowledge on this subject i would be very pleased to tell my Father what may be the problem. Thank you
