I have multiple sternum injuries. I use a heating pad on my chest. It is the kind that turns itself off before it can burn you. I bought mine at Walmart and it's one of the cheaper ones. It really helps to lay back and put the heat on your chest. That way your arms can be relaxed by your sides. Try not to lift anything like the trash and especially don't run the vacuum if it's a heavy one.

I hope you feel better very soon.
