help with costochondritis please
Hi everyone,
I have had this problem for over a year and the pain is unbelievable. I regularly take brufen and paracetomal on a daily basis and to be fair it does help to a degree.
The pain gets worse on movement, and radiates from the front of my rib cage around the left side of my chest, too my back. I always have a continuous ache and at worst (last night searing pain in my back and found it very difficult to move). I took pain killers and went to bed where the pain eventually receeded a bit.
Does anyone know of any alternative therapies that may help? or anyone who has this complaint any suggestions that they find helpful. thanks in advance for any help, Sandra

It's a bit difficult when your a nurse. lindapinda if your sister could remeber anything the doctor suggested to her, it would be great.
PatriciaH i'm willing to try anything at the moment so I will book an appointment with an osteopath and see if they can help. I had heard that acupuncture may help so might give that a go too.
Thank you both very much, Sandra
