Rib cage tightness: My hiatal hernia? MS?
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) | Last Active: Apr 16 8:15pm | Replies (103)Comment receiving replies
Has anyone mentioned it might be costochondritis? This is the inflammation of the cartridge in the rib cage. It raps around your whole rib cage and can go into your lower chest. I have had this for about a year. The only thing that has helped me was PT and exercises. It can be very painful.
Good Luck.

I have this too, mainly a reaction to stress. First 10 years ago when daughter died of cancer, it went away after a few weeks. Again after knee replacement, took longer to go away. Now, chronic since July but not intolerable. Probably because the surgery as a failure. I swim which is painful at first, then lessens. Do not take any medication. Don’t notice
too much during day for which I am grateful.
