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

Thank you very much for replying and for sharing your experience. My pain started suddenly without any accident or injury. I feel pain when I cough, move the upper body or press it with my hand at that place.
