I've been diagnosed with Costochondritis

[Regs]

Or Tietze syndrome.

Its like arthritis of a rib joint. Located in my chest cavity. The rib joint gets inflamed from scar tissue. The pain may have a sudden or gradual onset, and may be mild or severe, dull or sharp in nature. Sudden coughing or deep breathing accentuates the pain.

I might need surgery sooner or later to remove the scar tissue in the rib joint. What fun. But at least it isnt my heart. So they say anyway.

I wish you well.

Thank you all !

Any anti inflammatory drug will treat it for now. If it doesn't help, I might need to get a steroid injection near the inflamed joint.
