UI Back Care Send comments and questions to staff@uihealthcare.com University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa Costochondritis Costochondritis is a pain in the front of the chest. It comes from the area where the ribs attach to the breastbone or sternum. Sometimes the pain may be confused with heart attack pain. The cause of costochondritis is not known. It may follow a respiratory infection like a cold. Sometimes it may follow an injury or overuse. Even though adults usually have this, babies and children may also have it. The pain in the front of the rib cage may be dull and aching. Sometimes it is sharp and comes and goes. It may be worse when taking a deep breath. There may be tenderness if someone pushes on the area. If there is redness and swelling of the skin around the sternum, it is called Tietze's syndrome. Seek medical evaluation for any pain in the chest. Costochondritis is not a serious condition, but a heart attack is. Because the pain can be confused with a heart attack, tests may be needed for proper diagnosis of the problem. Treatment for costochondritis and Tietze's syndrome is the same. Activities or movements that make the pain worse should be avoided. Sometimes heat makes the pain better. A heating pad on low can be put on the area for 20 minutes 4 to 8 times a day. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin or ibuprofen can be taken. Follow your healthcare provider's instructions when taking these medicines. Aspirin or medicines that have aspirin in them should not be given to anyone younger than 18 years of age. Taking aspirin is a risk for a serious illness called Reye's syndrome. NSAIDs should be taken with food or milk to prevent stomach upset. NSAIDs should not be taken by anyone who has been diagnosed with asthma, ulcer disease, or a bleeding disorder. Taking NSAIDs increases the risk of bleeding with trauma, dental work, surgery or if taking blood thinners (anticoagulants).

As I said on the index page I will not be giving credit here as that would be impossible. I have collected this information over time from various sources, source types, and from personal experience as well. DEFINITION Costochondritis is an insidious inflammation of the cartilage that attaches the ribs to the breastbone generally affecting the third or fourth ribs. It produces anterior chest wall pain associated with tenderness of the sternum and rib regions. Any of the seven costochondral junctions may be affected and more often than not, more than one site is affected. ETIOLOGY Costochondritis may be caused by trauma, as a result of a viral infection, or as part of an inflammatory disease process. Though, insidious in nature, repetitive minor trauma has been suggestive as the cause. But, generally the cause is unknown. Though I was 44 when I was diagnosed, it is usually diagnosed between the age of twenty and forty. It affects both sexes equally, but it is more prevalent in females. SYMPTOMS Qualities of the pain Sharp chest wall pain especially with pressure
