a video of me describing the chronic pain condition I've had for about 18 months now and what it can mean to your health if you are diagnosed with it too.

Hey helpful video. But I'm having costochondritis pain and I was wondering can u have breathing problems like stop up noses?

[stwaldron1]

@MsSummer99 I personally haven't experienced that - may be a sinus issue as well as costo pain

[dallastxi3]

can this kill you



[stwaldron1]

@dallastxi3 no mate, this doesn't actually harm you, it just "tricks" your brain's pain response into thinking that you're experiencing a myocardial infarction.

I have this same exact issue ever since a chest wall injury last year. Thanks for your advice. Doctors have been helpless.

Hey there,

How are you doing? Are you feeling better? Has this gone away for you?

I just wrote about my experience with Costochondritis on squidoo

you can find it by going to squidoo and after the webpage address put /MyCostochondritis

I started experiencing this in 2010, I can't wait for it to go away, from what my Dr. says there's no way to know how long it will last. He says it appears to be chronic and it may just one day vanish.. Hopefully sooner than later!

@twiandhamlover12 do you take medicine like pain relievers? because it might help and maybe put an ice pack on where it hurts

Any females have had any children with this condition? How was the pregnancy?

my 30 yr old son has been diagnosed with tietze syndrome and been told nothing can be done

and to just rest and take pain killers, he has had it for a year and severe for the last 7 months and its all day everyday (3 or 4 bouts minimum a day) 7 days a week he's vomiting gouging not sleeping, he gave his job up and has rested for the last 4 months and still no improvement. open to any suggestions

Currently experiencing these symptoms. Coming back from a trip that was fine, well while unpacking breathing became painful. My chest felt like I had been hit by someone. Now when you I got comfortable. Arms hurt can't move left or right.  On meds and in bed.

As a martial artist, without a doubt my husband is asking me stop. What is your opinion?

[colomason]

very informative and helpful, Unfortunately i have also had a heart attack and i now have costchondritis on top of that, so when the pain starts i never know where it will end!

Great video. I been having Tietze for about 2 months now or so. Before I got my painkiller is was hell. Like you say in this video, panic attacks, thinking that I'm about to die. Sometimes it go down and then the pain can hit you like a knife in the chest. I try to stay calm and breathe slow. What helps me is taking a warm bath or play video games, watch TV and of course take my painkillers when the pain is too much. I hope it gets better for you and that my pain also go away. Thank you.
