I have pain at the middle of my upper chest since last 2 years. I went to a lot of doctors they all told me that it's costochondritis, they prescribed me medicines, physiotherapy and some exercise as well, I have already done all my test like ECG, X-Ray, CT-Scan and several blood tests which are all fine, but the pain is the same as it was 2 years ago.

Hi @khanm
Speaking merely from experience - I suffered 3 years with Costochondral chondritis. I was seen by many healthcare providers including Physical therapist, acupuncturist, chiropractors, Reiki specialists, and pain clinics which one clinic included injections every single week for an entire year. I was seen by several surgeons. Finally ended up successfully pain free by going through the Mayo Clinic Pain Clinic and surgery where the doctors removed my sternal manubrium joint and have been completely pain free since.

Mine stemmed from an injury I sustained in a car accident where I sustained A paired over fracture through the sternum manubrium joint. Can you share alittle more about the source of pain or suspected cause?

Curious,
Dawn
