Wi go lan bɔt dis impɔtant bon we de na di midul pan yu chɛst (di sternum)?

Adu! Yu dɔn ɛva tink bɔt di flat bon we de na di midul pan yu chɛst? Bɔku pan wi kin kɔl am di ‘brɛstbon’. Sɔm pipul dɛn kin kɔl am bak di ‘sternum’. So insay Inglish, dɛn kin kɔl am di ‘sternum’. dis na bon we rili imכtant, i de protεkt bכku pan di כgan dεm we de insay wi chεst εn i kכnεkt to כda bon dεm εn mכsul dεm. Wi go tɔk mɔ bɔt dis tide?

Wetin na dis brɔstbon (sternum)? Wetin i de du?

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, di sternum na di lɔng, flat, T-shaped bon we de bifo yu chɛst, rayt na di midul. Sɔm pipul dɛn kin kɔl am bak di brɔst bon. Yu kin fil di midul pan yu chɛst wit yu an, ɛn yu go fil dis bon.

Dis nɔto jɔs wan pat pan bon. I de du wan wok we rili impɔtant.

• Fɔ protɛkt wisɛf: Imajin, wi at, wi lɔng, wi bɛlɛ we de ɔp, ɛn wi it ɔl na ɔgan dɛn we rili sɛnsitiv insay di chɛst. So if ɛni denja fɔ apin to dɛn ɔgan dɛn ya, di sternum, di rib (rib) dɛn we tay pan am, ɛn di rib kech we de mek dɛn togɛda tan lɛk shild we de bifo fɔ protɛkt dɛn frɔm am.
• kכnεkshכn to כda bon dεm εn mכsul dεm: di stεnכm nכ de wok in wan. yu kכla bon dεm (dεn kכl dεm di klavikul dεm) de atak di tכp pat pan di stεnכm. Dɔn bak, bɔku pan di rib dɛn kin atak am. di mכsul dεm na di chεst εn di כp bכdi de atak am bak.
• Ɛp fɔ blo: We yu de blo, yu chɛst de go bifo ɛn bak. dis muvmεnt de εp bay di stεnכm, εn di rib dεm we kכnεkt to am bay kכtilaj. Pan ɔl we i nɔto big muvmɛnt, dis rili impɔtant fɔ di we aw pɔsin de blo.

Wetin na di pat dεm na di stεnכm?

pan ɔl we di stεnכm tan lεk wan lכng bon, i gεt tri men pat dεm. Sɔm pipul dɛn se i tan lɛk sɔd.

1. Manubrium: Dis na di pat pan di sternum we wayd sכmtεm εn i lεk di hilt fכ sכd. yu tu kol bon dεm εn di fכs pe rib dεm de kכnekt to dis manubrium.

2. di bכdi fכ di stεn: dis na di midul, lכng, flat pat. I tan lɛk sɔd in blad. di tɔd to di sɛvin rib dɛn kin kɔnɛkt to dis pat.

3. Xiphoid Process: dis na sכm pat pan di stεnכm we de pכynt jכs dכn di stεnכm. I tan lɛk sɔd in tip. Bɔku tɛm, dɛn kin mek am wit katilej. כltu, as wi de ol, i de tכn sכmtεm to bon, dat min se i de `kalsifay`.

so, dεn tri pat dεm de kam togεda fכ mek di komplit stεnכm. I kin lɔng lɛk 6 inch.

If yu gɛt pen na di midul pan yu chɛst, wetin na di tin dɛn we kin mek yu fil pen?

Naw lɛ wi luk wetin kin mek pɔsin fil pen ɛn nɔ kin fil fayn arawnd di stɛp, ɔ na di midul pan di chɛst. Sɔmtɛm dis pen kin kɔmɔt dɔŋ ɔ biɛn di sternum. Wi kin kɔl am ‘Subternal Pain’. Bɔrku tɛm dis kin kam bikɔs ɔf prɔblɛm wae gɛt fɔ du wit di bɛlɛ ɛn di εsophagus.

Okay, so lɛ wi si wetin na di kɔmɔn tin dɛm we kin mek dis midul chɛst pen:

Kɔstokɔndraytis we dɛn kɔl kɔstokɔndraytis

Dis na tin we kin rili apin. di rib dεm de kכnekt to di stεnכm bay wan pat pan di kכtilaj. Kɔstokɔndraytis kin apin we da katilej de inflam bikɔs ɔf infɛkshɔn, injuri, ɔ kɔndishɔn lɛk at at. dis kin mek yu fil shap pen na di say we di rib dεm de na di chεst, lεk naif we de chuk di stεnכm na di tu say dεm. I kin at we yu tɔch am, ɛn i kin ivin fil wam.

Pectus Carinatum (Chɛst we de kɔmɔt na do) .

dis na we di stεnכm de kכmכt fכ go bifo pas nכmal. Sɔm pipul dɛn kin kɔl dis bak ‘pijin chɛst’. Bɔrku pipul nɔr kin gɛt ɛni big big sayn. Bɔt sɔm pipul dɛn kin gɛt pen na dɛn chɛst, mɔ we dɛn de ol sɔm pozishɔn ɔ du sɔm tin dɛn.

Stɛnɔm Fraktrɔs

dis na dairekt frakshכn na di stεnכm. I kin apin we sɔntin nak di chɛst tranga wan. Tink bɔt motoka aksidɛnt, spɔt aksidɛnt, ɔ fɔdɔm frɔm ayt. Fraktrɔs de bak we pɔsin blo dairekt wan na di chɛst , ɛn fraktrɔs de we pɔsin blo indayrɛkt .

Stɛnoklavikul Jɔyn Injuri

di ples we wi kכlabon (`Clavicle`) de mit di stεnכm dεn kכl am ``Sternoclavicular Joint``. Dis na prɔblɛm we nɔ kin apin so ɔltɛm. Bɔt if dis jɔyn gɛt tin dɛn lɛk infɛkshɔn, injuri, ɔ at at sik, i kin mek i fil pen ɛn stif.

Kɔlabɔn disɔda dɛn

di kכlabon de kכnekt to di tu כp εnd dεm na di stεnכm. So if sɔntin apin to di kɔla bon, yu kin fil di pen na di sternum. Dis kin bi bikɔs ɔf aksidɛnt, spɔt injuri, fɔdɔm, ɛn ɔda tin dɛn.

Mɔsul dɛn we de strɛch

if di mכsul dεm εn di tεndon dεm we kכnεkt to di stεnכm dεn inju, dat na if dεn pul dεm (Muscle Strain), den pen kin apin bak na di stεnכm εria. Dis kin kam bikɔs ɔf tin dɛn lɛk fɔ tray tranga wan, fɔ ple spɔt, ɔ fɔ kɔf tumɔs .

Hiatal Ɛnia we dɛn kɔl Hiatal

Dis na we di ɔpa pat pan yu bɛlɛ de push tru di dayafragm ɛn go insay yu chɛst. dis kin mek yu fil pen na di chεst, jכs dכn di stεnכm. Dis na wan kɔmɔn kayn hiatal hεnia bak.

Asid riflɔks/GERD

we di gastric acid frכm di bεlε kam bak כp di εsophagus (`Acid Reflux`), we de pwεl di layn na di εsophagus, i kin mek bak yu bכn εn pen na di midul pan di chεst. dis kin kכmכn pan pipul dεm we gεt gastritis, we dεn kכl bak `GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)`.

Pleurisy kɔndishɔn we pɔsin kin gɛt

di pleurisy de apin we di mεmbran dεm we de rawnd wi lכng dεm (di `pleurae`) de inflamed. Dis kin bi bikɔs ɔf sɔm ɔtoimyun sik dɛm, lכng sik dɛm, baktri ɔ vayral infεkshɔn. Dis kin mek yu fil pen bak ɔnda di sternum.

Bronkitis we dɛn kɔl Bronchitis

brכnkitis na inflameshn na di trakya εn brכnki, di men aywe dεm we de go na di lכng. Dis kin mek yu chɛst pen bak. Dis kin mek yu gɛt mכkus na di lכng dεm εn kכf we kin las fכ wik.

Nyumonia

Nyumonia na inflamɛns na di ay sak dɛm (alveoli) na di lכng. We dis kin apin, dɛn kin ful-ɔp wit wata, we kin mek yu chɛst pen bad bad wan. dis pen kin fil bak biεn di stεnכm.

Wetin na di kɔmɔn tin dɛn we wi kin si pan dɛn tin ya?

Okay, naw yu ɔndastand se bɔku tin dɛn kin de we kin mek pɔsin fil pen na in chɛst. So, dipen pan ɛni wan pan dɛn tin ya, di sayn dɛm kin difrɛn smɔl. Bɔt bɔku tɛm, di men sayn na we yu de fil pen ɔ we yu nɔ de fil fayn na di midul pat na di chɛst .

Lɛ wi luk sɔm pan di spɛshal tin dɛn we wi kin si pan sɔm pan di tin dɛn we wi bin dɔn tɔk bɔt ɔp:

• Kɔstokɔndraytis na:
• Di pen kin bɔku we yu de du ɛksɛsayz, strɛch, brith bad bad wan, ɔ kɔf.
• I kin at we dɛn tɔch am.
• wan shap pen de kכmכt frכm di tu say dεm na di stεnכm.
• If di stεnכm brok (Sternum Fracture):
• De pen kin wɔs wae yu kɔf ɔr yu de blo tranga wan.
• Da eria de kin brus ɛn swel.
• Yu kin gɛt prɔblɛm fɔ blo.
• Hiatal Ɛnia na:
• Gudi tin dɛn de go ɔltɛm.
• Bɔn na di chɛst, fil lɛk se di bɛlɛ ful-ɔp (`Indigestion`).
• I nɔ izi fɔ swɛla, fil lɛk se sɔntin dɔn stɔp na yu trot (espɛshali we yu de ledɔm) .
• Asid Riflɔks na:
• I kin fil lɛk se di tin dɛn we de insay di bɛlɛ de kam bak ɔp insay di trot.
• Inflameshɔn na di farinx.
• Mi trot de at, i de fil lɛk se sɔntin dɔn stɔp na mi trot. (Dis kin wɔs afta yu dɔn it)

Bɔrku ɔda sayn dɛm kin de lɛk dis, i kin dipen pan de sik. Di tin we impɔtant pas ɔl na dat if yu gɛt pen na yu chɛst we nɔ kɔmɔn, nɔ ignore am ɛn go to dɔktɔ.

Wetin na di tritmɛnt fɔ sternum pen?

Di tritmɛnt fɔ di pen na di chɛst de dipen ɔl pan di tin we mek i de fil. Ɛni sik gɛt in yon tritmɛnt.

Fɔ gi sɔm ɛgzampul dɛn:

• Fɔ kɔstɔkɔndraytis, bɔku tɛm fɔ rɛst na di bɛst tritmɛnt. Yu nid fɔ gi yu chɛst ɛn yu rib dɛn tɛm fɔ mek dɛn wɛl. Apat frɔm dat, yu dɔktɔ kin gi yu mɛrɛsin fɔ mek yu fil pen ɛn sɔntɛm i kin gi yu mɛrɛsin dɛn we de mek yu fil bad (lɛk NSAID). Na smɔl tɛm nɔmɔ dɛn kin yuz kɔtikosterɔyd injɛkshɔn fɔ ridyus di inflamɛns.
• Fɔ pectus carinatum (chɛst we de kɔmɔt na do) , dɛn kin nid spɛshal bres, ɔ insay sɔm kayn bad bad tin dɛn, dɛn kin nid fɔ du ɔpreshɔn.
• If di sternum brok , di tritmɛnt de dipen pan aw i siriɔs. Fɔ smɔl fraktrɔs, fɔ rɛst ɛn mɛrɛsin fɔ mek pɔsin fil pen, na in nɔmɔ go du fɔ am. Bɔt if i rili bad, dɛn kin nid fɔ du ɔpreshɔn fɔ mek dɛn tay di sternum bak.
• fכ kכndishכn dεm lεk asid rεfluks , dεn kin yuz chenj dεm na layf (it fכ it fayn, rεdכks sכm it dεm, fכ sכm smok), εn mεdikeshכn dεm we de rεdכks bεlε asid (lεk antasid εn proton pכmp inhibito - PPI dεm).

So yu kin si aw i impɔtant fɔ fɛn di rizin. Na dat mek i impɔtant fɔ go to dɔktɔ, fɔ no di sik kɔrɛkt wan, ɛn gɛt di rayt tritmɛnt.

Ustɛm yu fɔ go to dɔktɔ if yu gɛt pen na di midul pan yu chɛst?

Nɔr nid fɔ panik we yu gɛt chɛst pen, bɔt sɔm tin dɛn de we yu fɔ rili go to dɔktɔ. Dɛn tin ya na:

• If yu pen bin apin dairekt afta sɔm kayn aksidɛnt (trauma) .
• If di pen nɔr dɔn afta sɔm dez , ɔr if de diskɔmfɔt nɔr de.
• If di pen fil lɛk se i de wɔs as tɛm de go .
• If di pen de kam wit bad bad vɔmit, ɔ if yu vɔmit blɔd .

Na dis kayn tɛm, dɔktɔ kin no wetin mek yu de fil pen ɛn gi yu tritmɛnt plan we fit am.

Dis pen na at atak? Aw yu go no di difrɛns? (Sternum Pen vs. At Atak)

Dis rili impɔtant. Wan pan de tin wae bɔrku pipul kin frayd wae dɛn kin gɛt pen na dɛn chɛst na wae dɛn nɔr kin no if na at atak. Bɔt smɔl difrɛns de bitwin di pen we gɛt fɔ du wit di sternum ɛn di pen we kin apin we pɔsin gɛt at atak.

Bɔku tɛm, di pen na di sternum kin bigin wantɛm wantɛm. Bɔt bifo at atak apin, sɔm ɔda patikyula sayn dɛn kin de we gɛt fɔ du wit am.

Di sayn dɛm fɔ hat atak kin bi (wan ɔr mɔr pan) dɛn tin ya:

* Na filin fɔ tayt, tayt, ɔ prɛshɔn na di sɛntrɔm pan di chɛst. Dis pen kin kɔmɔt bak to yu an, yu jaw, ɔ yu tit.

* Swet, mɔ kol swet.

* Vɔmit.

* I nɔ izi fɔ blo.

• Fɔ fil lɛk se yu nɔ gɛt natin, lɛk we yu nɔ no natin.

If yu gɛt ɛni wan pan dɛn sik ya, duya go to dɔktɔ wantɛm wantɛm. Dis min se yu fɔ go na di ɔspitul we de nia yu ɔ yu fɔ kɔl ambulans. Hat atɔk kin mek pɔsin in layf de pan denja.

pan ɔl we bɔku tɛm di pen na di sternum nɔ kin rili siriɔs, i rili impɔtant fɔ no dis difrɛns.

So, wetin na di tin dɛn we wi nid fɔ mɛmba?

Okay, so na sɔm pan di men tin dɛn we yu nid fɔ mɛmba frɔm wetin wi dɔn tɔk bɔt tide:

• di stεnכm, we na wan bon we de midul yu chεst, na wan rili imכtant pat pan wi bכdi we de protεkt di imכtant כgan dεm we de insay εn de sכpכt כda bon dεm εn mכsul dεm.
• Bɔrku rizin kin de fɔ mek yu fil pen na di midul pat na yu chɛst. Sɔm simpul, ɛn ɔda wan dɛn nid fɔ go to dɔktɔ.
• Bɔrku tɛm, dɛn pen ya nɔr kin siriɔs. Bɔt if di pen kɔntinyu, i bad, ɔ if yu gɛt ɛnitin fɔ wɔri bɔt, mek shɔ se yu go to dɔktɔ.
• Di tin we impɔtant pas ɔl: Yu fɔ no difrɛns bitwin di pen na yu chɛst ɛn di sayn dɛm we de sho se yu gɛt at atak. If yu gɛt sayn dɛn we de sho se yu gɛt at atak, go to dɔktɔ wantɛm wantɛm.

So, we yu no yu bɔdi, dat go ɛp yu fɔ tek akshɔn kwik kwik wan if yu gɛt ɛni prɔblɛm wit yu wɛlbɔdi. Stay wit wɛlbɔdi!
