Dadcue, I have a diagnosis of costochondritis in my history also! Long, long before my PMR, and long after my reactive arthritis.
I had no idea of a connection but I guess it makes sense now…..

Reactive arthritis formerly call Reiter's syndrome is in the same family of disorders with ankylosing spondylitis. Collectively these disorders are called spondyloarthritis. Collectively, all types combined, spondyloarthritis is more common than RA.

Reactive arthritis alone is relatively rare so there hasn't been much research done. Dr. Reiter did "research" but who wants their name associated with that person?
