Hello Lynda - I have fibro, and have also had the pain you describe in the breastbone and the attachments to the ribs. It's called chostrochondritis and it's an inflammation of the cartilage between the two halves of the sternum and it can hurt like blazes. I never had anything prescribed for it, just had my heart checked, and since that was fine no one was inclined to give me anything for it. I took ibuprofen and slathered the whole area with Chinese herbal liniment, and eventually it went away. Sometimes when the weather is iffy it still aches. Don't know a thing about Toradol, sorry.
