Anterior chest wall pain is a feature of axial spondyloarthritis that is understudied. It is rarely the presenting symptom, and when present, may suggest severe disease. We present the case of a 35-year-old female with recurring presentations of debilitating chest pain, subsequently diagnosed with axial spondyloarthritis. Awareness of this presentation can lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment of patients presenting with manubriosternal joint involvement as their initial symptom of axial spondyloarthritis.
