    Definition
    Costochondritis is an inflammation and associated tenderness of the cartilage (i.e., the costochondral joints) that attaches the front of the ribs to the breastbone. Description Costochondritis causes pain in the lower rib area or upper breastbone. Some patients fear they are having a heart attack . The most severe pain is usually between the breast and the upper abdomen. The pain may be greater when in sitting or reclining positions. Stress may aggravate this condition. Generally the third or fourth ribs are affected. However, any of the seven costochondral junctions may be affected, and more often than not more than one site is involved. The inflammation can involve cartilage areas on both sides of the sternum, but usually is on one side only. Costochondritis should be distinguished from Tietze Syndrome, which is an inflammation involving the same area of the chest, but also includes swelling. Causes and symptoms The causes of costochondritis are not well-understood and may be difficult to establish. The most likely causes include injury, repetitive minor trauma, and unusual excessive physical activity.

    Costochondritis
    Costochondritis is an inflammation of a rib or the cartilage connecting a rib. This is a common cause of chest-wall pain. Inflammation or injury involving the chest muscles is another common cause of chest-wall pain.
    Symptoms of Costochondritis
    The problem is marked by chest tightness and sharp pain that worsens when you move or breathe deeply. The pain may spread to the arm and may occur in more than one place. In the beginning the pain is usually worse and it hurts to breathe, wear a bra or move suddenly. Eventually the pain subsides to a dull, constant ache or tenderness in the ribs. The cause of this condition is usually unknown but it can be the result of trauma to the rib cage, a viral infection or part of an inflammatory disease. The symptoms usually disappear spontaneously within eight weeks but sometimes it takes up to a year and in some individuals it remains a chronic condition. When it is a chronic condition the pain seems to wax and wane and any sudden movement or lifting of heavy objects could make the condition worse.

Costochondritis causes pain in the lower rib area or upper breastbone. Some patients fear they are having a heart attack. The most severe pain is usually between the breast and the upper abdomen.

However, any of the seven costochondral junctions may be affected, and more often than not more than one site is involved. The inflammation can involve cartilage areas on both sides of the sternum, but usually is on one side only. Most commonly the cause of costochondritis is classified as 'idiopathic,' or unknown. This means that there is no identifiable cause for the condition. This does not imply that idiopathic costochondritis is any less painful of a condition than if the cause can be identified. The most common known cause of costochondritis is traumatic injury. For example, a car accident where the driver's chest strikes the steering wheel can cause costochondritis by injuring the ribs and cartilage on the front of the chest. Viral infections, usually upper respiratory infections, have also been identified as a cause of costochondritis. The most frequently affected age group is young adults between 20 and 40 years old.

    Costochondritis
    Costochondritis is simply inflammation of the rib joints, and attachments of intercostal muscles to the ribs, due to persistant "bracing" of the intercostal muscles. So far, the only known cause of this persistant tension of the intercostal muscles is chronic stress-effect storage in the hypothalamus. The well known fight or flight mechanism is the only known way the hypothalamus has to respond to ANY form of stressor. See the glossary and search engine for stress. The stressors, for which physically running or fighting are NOT appropriate, result in that readiness being stored in the hypothalamus. Nearly all stressors in our present day culture cannot be resolved by running or fighting. This makes breathing like trying to run with a muscle cramp in your leg. You can stop running but you cannot stop breathing. SO, when this tension is always there of course, eventually, the muscles get painful and their attachments become inflamed. Rolfing gives almost instant relief from this condition but is not a permanent cure since the cause must be eliminated for any permanent cure of anything chronic to be effective. The only permanent cure for this, yet known, is Skilled Relaxation (See this information in the glossary and search engine.) It takes 6-12 months to discharge all the tension stored in the muscles via turning down the fight or flight signals from the hypothalamus. SO, if one wants quicker results, although temporary; Chiropractic, Rolfing or a series of deep, total-body, therapeutic massages will be needed.

    Can Early Diagnosis and Management of Costochondritis Reduce Acute Chest Pain Admissions? JANE FREESTON, ZUNAID KARIM, KAREN LINDSAY, and ANDREW GOUGH
    Objective.
    We identified patients presenting with chest pain diagnosed as costochondritis by a consultant rheumatologist. The time taken to diagnosis was determined and the influence of diagnosis on subsequent management was assessed. We then estimated any cost benefits that early diagnosis and treatment of costochondritis might confer. Finally, we evaluated our current experience of sulfasalazine as a treatment for recurrent costochondritis. Patients with costochondritis frequently present with acute chest pain, often resulting in multiple admissions and investigations. In this study admission and investigation rates were significantly reduced following rheumatological review. How much of this reduction is directly a result of rheumatological intervention is unclear, given the limitations of the study. The findings suggest early review may improve patient care and reduce expenditure; in recurrent cases of costochondritis, sulfasalazine may be of additional longterm benefit.

    COSTOCHONDRITIS About Your Diagnosis
    The ribs are connected to the sternum (breast bone) by cartilage. This connection is called the "costochondral junction," which means the joining of bone and cartilage. Costochondritis is chest pain and tenderness in this region of the chest. One type of costochondritis caused by swelling of the cartilage is called "Tietzes syndrome." It can occur anywhere in the chest but usually on the left side. Costochondritis is a common cause of pain in the front of the chest. No one knows what causes costochondritis, but certain forms of arthritis may cause chest pain in this area. Costochondritis is diagnosed by a medical history and physical examination. Tenderness over the cartilage is a common finding. Although there are no specific blood tests or x-rays for costochondritis, your doctor may order other tests to be sure you do not have another condition. Living With Your Diagnosis
    Individuals with costochondritis have pain and tenderness in the chest. The pain may be mild or severe and may last for several days or longer. Coughing, sneezing, deep breaths, and certain movements can make the pain worse. Some individuals feel anxious because of the pain and may feel short of breath. Treatment
    Costochondritis usually goes away on its own. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen may be particularly helpful. Other treatments include heat and stretching exercises. If these treatments do not relieve the pain, a cortisone injection might be tried. Potential side effects of NSAIDs include stomach upset, ulcers, constipation, diarrhea, headaches, dizziness, difficulty hearing, and skin rash. Cortisone injections usually work quickly but require injecting a needle through the skin.

      I completely agree with you. I believe my TMS manifested itself as chest pains because I smoked and have high cholestrol. The constant media pounding about the effects of those factors on the heart, used that particular area for my TMS. And even after thousands of dollars worth of heart tests that showed my heart was fine and that my arteries were clean as a whistle, my mind still tried to convince me that I had angina (pain caused by clogged arteries). I am extemely happy that I discovered Dr. Sarno's books and am in an infintely better position than I was prior to reading them. I am sad to see all those people on costochondritis and Fibromyalgia newsgroups, going to doctor after doctor, taking treatment after treatment, and living with years of dehibilitating pain, when reading a couple of books could save them.

    OVERVIEW:
    DIAGNOSIS:
    The patient with costochondritis will have chest pain. It can be either to the left or right of the sternum. Chest pain is a symptom that we should not ignore, as it may indicate a serious problem with our heart or lungs. The doctor will perform a careful history and physical exam, and possibly order x-rays or blood tests to rule out any serious problem. If costochondritis is present, the doctor will discover tenderness over the joints and ribs of the chest wall. The diagnostic studies will also be negative, ruling out serious abnormalities of the lungs and heart. Unfortunately, costochondritis itself will not show up on any x-ray, but in extreme cases a bone scan may be positive.
