Costochondritis: How do you manage pain?

Posted by jadillow @jadillow, Apr 29, 2019

I just wanted some more info on this for my chest pain and see if this is possibly an issue. I have a pain in upper ribs, both sides of sternum. Not intolerable but annoying. During time of pain it feels those ribs are “raised”. Any insight would be great. Thanks.

I have had costochondritis for two years now . I’ve been hospitalized a couple times fear ing that it might be heart related. I have had every test possible to rule out everything but costochondritis, but I have not had much relief. I have done lots of therapy, red light treatment, pain meds everything I can think of, but with very little relief, . flareups are more constant. If anyone has any advice I would welcome it gladly.
