Very common with osteoarthritis, although not so much on the sternum. Did you diagnose this yourself? If so you do need to confirm with a doctor to make sure this is the correct interpretation of your problem.
Hi Lilynette, I have a condition where I get additional build up on my spine which looks like candle wax on an X Ray. You may have the condition as me, which your Doctor will confirm after XRay's and tests. Here is a link. Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH or Forestier's Disease)
