@revebunnyx3 I've had it for over a year now. What will help me with pain is a heating pad but that will make it more swollen. I dont know if yours is swollen but mine is.. Also if yours is swollen try taking turmeric. It helps pretty good

@beckywarb Are you sure you have costochondritis? If you've had it for 9 years, it sounds like you have Tietze's Syndrome... unless I'm wrong. *shrugs* I was just told by a doctor last month that I have costochondritis, and I was told to take ibuprofen 3 times a day for 2 weeks, and place warm towels or heating pads on my chest for 4 weeks. It worked fine... until I caught a cold three weeks ago, and then the flare ups started again. Have you tried the remedy that I did for myself?

Worst part, I'm very active, So this does affect me greatly, I can no longer run long distances :(
