Bone trauma and fractures Post subject: Costochondritis? Gill - Fri Dec 03, 2004 5:55 am Hi, I thought I had posted a message up but can't find it. Hope I haven't posted twice About 3 to 4 years I cracked or broke a rib due to coughing - caught a severe flu bug. I had xrays which showed it up. Can't remember now if it was broken or cracked. However, that cleared up. A few months ago I had a child jump on me on my chest and had severe pain and soreness in that same right rib area... which did clear up. However a few nights ago on having a cuddle with my hubby (don't laugh please), I felt something in my left rib cage go ping and it hurt intensely for a moment. Since then it has got worse and worse - muscle spasms in my back etc. It feels a bit better today but is this Costochondritis please? I'm a gardener and have been fairly active but I'm getting too scared to move of late. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

COSTOCHONDRITIS Costochondritis is an inflammation of the ribs, usually where they attach to the breastbone or sternum. A person with costochondritis may have pain in the front of the rib cage that is dull and aching. Sometimes there is redness and swelling of the skin around the sternum. The pain gets worse if pressure is put on the sore ribs. It is very important to have all pain in and around the chest evaluated by your healthcare provider. Costochondritis is not life-threatening, but a heart attack is. Sometimes an injury to the chest wall will cause costochondritis. However, many times it is not known why the pain occurs. TREATMENT FOR COSTOCHONDRITIS INCLUDES: * anti-inflammatory medication like aspirin or ibuprofen * ice packs over the sore areas * avoidance of movements and activities that increase the pain * rest until movement becomes comfortable and * exercise, using slow stretching to avoid re-injury MEDICATION CAUTIONS: Do NOT give aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) or aspirin-containing products to anyone age 18 years or younger because of the risk of a serious illness called Reye’s syndrome. Acetaminophen should not be taken by anyone with known liver or kidney disease. Do not drink alcohol when taking more than 1 dose of acetaminophen.

Used Infrasonic 8, for 10 minutes ( Body ), followed by 10 minutes ( Spirit ), twice a day. Within a month the pain was significantly decreased to the point where I discontinued getting local injections!!! Because the local tenderness continues, I continue using the QGM with the goal of being pain free. It’s now much easier to put clothing on, but the most significant improvement is the peace of mind associated with not having to get regular pain injections in a very tender area."

Forum: The Respiratory Disorders Forum Topic: Respiratory - Other Subject: costochondritis? From To Post javens Hi, I wrote a couple of days ago about costochondritis and many other symptoms. I looked into polychondritis, but I do not have any swelling or redness. and my ears,nose etc... are not involved. Also my Dr gave me a sed rate analysis(to check for inflamation) and it showed was low. Can costochondritis cause anterior pain throughout the ribcage as well as along the sternum? Also is this common in fibromyalgia? thanks! NJC-R.N.-DC javens You can have polychondritis, without the classic involvement of ears, nose etc. But, this is a rare condition and not likely to be your diagnosis. It’s just a thought. Yes, the pain of costochondritis can radiate beyond the sternum. I believe that costochondritis and fibromyalgia are unrelated conditions. Let's follow-up on what the rheumatologist says.

I have had these cramps not at the same time but on both sides of my chest. These are scary to me. I am wondering if they can affect the heart since the heart is a muscle? When I am sleeping they wake me up and at times so bad that it like takes my lung along with it and makes it so I can't breathe normally without EXTREME pain until the cramp goes away? Thank you.

Re: Costochondritis Post Followup Ask the Doctor Posted by lupusDoc on January 25, 1999 at 23:05:47: In Reply to: Costochondritis posted by Jestduckie on January 19, 1999 at 22:53:55: Hello Jestduckie, We asked the doctor your questions, and this was his reply: Since I haven't examined you, and am not your doctor, what I have to say is only *guess-work* - please keep that in mind. Costochondritis is inflammation in the costal cartilage. Anytime there are an area of pain in the body, the surrounding areas tend to *guard* against movement of that area. In your case, your intercostal muscles may be spending the day tensed up, to keep movement at a minimum in your chest. Very often when muscles are used in a way that is not natural, they react by having spasms. This may be what's occuring. Your intercostal muscles and your heart, are two different types of muscle. What affects one does not have to (and often doesn't) affect the other. So if your spasms are from overuse, your heart will not be affected at all. You need to have this all checked out by your doctor. If it is as I described, then there are treatments and therapy that can help relax those muscles, so that they don't spasm. Keep in mind though, that there are other possible reasons for the spasms, which is why your doctor needs to examine you.
