- Hey guys,
Thanks so much for watching this video! This has been kind of on the informative side of the videos I've made, but I think it's good either way to talk about this condition and maybe even help bring it under attention a little bit more.
I know that probably the majority of you have clicked on this video because you've either been diagnosed with it yourself and are trying to find more information about it, or you might have some sort of pain that is similar to this, and you've stumbled upon this.
So for those of you, I've put the link to Wikipedia's page about Tietze Syndrome and Costochondritis down below so you can read at little more about it.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tietze_...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costoch...
Like I've said in this video, there's just not that much information about this, and besides what you read on Google, there are a few more videos like this one on RUclips, so make sure you see those as well because everyone's experience is different.
Thanks again for watching, please subscribe and give this video a thumbs up and click the notification button, to get notified when I upload a new video.
I'll see you guys in the next one! x
What scares me the most is the pain. It hurts a lot and I thought it's heart attack.
Hello kuya! Meron ka din bang costochondritis? 😞

I saw a bone doctor today and he told me i have this. thank you so much for your info on tnis . i am so grateful for your video . now i can start working on being healed and getting my life back . big thanks !
*THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE!* 😊
Hey Kayleigh, thank you for sharing ......keep making videos.
I have tietze syndrome,got injured while doing inc bench press,the weight was quite heavy. Ego Lifting,big mistake. Never do that !
It’s been 2 years I’ve been experiencing the pain,in winters it grows,in the morning it’s the most severe.
There’s inflammation in the chest as well,shortness of breath leads to anxiety sometimes because your mind thinks ‘what is it?’ ‘What’s happening to me’ ‘am I still healthy’
(Tietze is diagnosed after you get your MRI etc done,so that it’s clear that the pain and inflammation isn’t because of anything else ,so get that checked first)
Not to worry,I have some solutions for this syndrome.
Sharing my experience for others to make this pain bearable :
1. Do not lift heavy or medium weights on your chest while working out. It’ll screw it up more & will lead to inflammation. If you want to train your chest,pick up those light weights & maintain controlled form.
2. Heat pads help,for some people,initially it may feel like it’s not working but it does. Try doing it everyday for atleast 10-15 mins.
3. Stretching helps but again,be very careful with the form.
4. Medications can only reduce your pain & inflammation temporarily,better not to use them till the pain is unbearable.
5. Put your palm/hand on your chest,while coughing,sneezing,changing positions while you sleep or lye down on bed,your hand will act as a support to your chest/ribs,which will eventually make you feel less irritated there.
6. Do not shout loudly,trust me I’ve faced this problem. Might sound funny but sometimes speaking loudly triggers the pain.
I still have the pain & inflammation after 2 years but I still hope that it’ll be fine one day.
Do not worry, More power to y’all & god bless y’all 🙏🏻
This too shall pass.
God bless you
The shouting part is very true. After a phone call with a lot of shouting I will feel sharp pains
Yeah Man thank you.
I have it for 8 months now, I did trainings in gym and mma. It gives so much anxiety because of it’s unpredictability, I was thinking that I have heart problems but the pain came even out of nowhere that gave me a signal because heart pain doesn’t come out of nowhere. I went to doctors, doctor did my heart test, everything’s fine, but I cant go to doctor again because they are taking too long or not answering. I have swollen place on the left side of the left ribcage part and when I touch it gives me a uncomfortable feeling and a bit of pain, also the pain goes to my back and different areas along the left ribcage side. My huge mistake was that I did weight lifting and mma since I had this pain.
Be strong everyone out here💪🏼🙏🏼
Gheroin 59 same with me but it’s on my right side, one of the upper ribs on my right side is swollen and when I feel on the bone it’s definitely bigger compared to the other side of my chest, and there’s a bruise too. Didn’t know if it was normal or not but I’ve had it for a couple of weeks
@@gheroin5933 how are you now has is healed up
I get out of breath, too. I think because of the tightness, but I understand the panic due to it. Like "I'm not out of shape. Why am I struggling?"
Thankkk uuu so much for making an experience video
Thanks so much for this video. You have no idea how much it means to hear others stories. I’ve had this now for 6 months (latent injury from being a powerlifter) and it radiates to my shoulder and left arm with tingling as well. The pain is not sharp but rather like a burning/inflaming/tight pain. Thought I was having heart problems at 25 but thank God it’s just this.
Hey mate, I had tietze syndrome two years ago but I did not know and I’m pretty sure I also got it from lifting and bad posture. By any chance do you have any swelling on your middle line of chest and looking like a lump and uneven. And just wondering as my chiropractor told me It will heal up if i rest. How are you and has your tietze syndrome gone by any chance. I am having anxiety everyday just wanted to know if it will ever gonna heal.
Do you get pain under arm pit?
Exact same scenario with me, but as far as pain, it's always a lingering dull ache, especially when pressing lightly
Dips and Bench pressing fucked me up
@@janeromila7157 I do sometimes
The back pod helped the most ty for this
The backpod is saving my life
Hi
Had a bout of this last Summer. I wouldn't call it 'random' as I knew the factors that led up to my episode. I was already dealing with back pain so waking one morning with this scared the hell out of me. Within a day of researching, I found Steve August and his Backpod. Using it for 3mins, once a day, for about a week, my ribs were freed up. Did it daily to the point where I only use it once a wk for maintenance. Pain is all but gone but the backpod works well for any upper back aches you may have.
Hope you were able to get one!
it hurts so much....worst part is not being able to breath well when stressed
Get a back pod
I feel like maybe breathing problem but I feel more disturb by the beat of the nerve nearby the back area …. Do you also feel same … ? Please reply
i recommended to drink lots of water and milk it helps improve bones and also have straight posture im sorry to everyone who he had this ik it feels scary but trust me you can get thru this
Kayleigh - great video! I have had this for months - stretching really helps but what is a savior for me is Tylenol - muscle and joint - when the achy pain is getting really bad and feels yes - like a heart atack - this really helps for me and takes the achy pain away. I have had my heart checked out and it all checks out there incidentally - not quite sure how I got it but have been a drummer for years and working out (weight training for years) - but I also went through a lot of stress in my life the last two years or so - so I'm thinking stress is a big factor too.
Get a back pod
Its stress.. I experienced a panic attack for the first time 6 months ago.. ever since I been having this right side chest and back pain.
@@X4hunterx4 it's horrible - and i still have it - i would argue worse than 8 months ago - going to a pain clinic next week - we'll see if that helps any.
Backpod combined with chiropractic to release the ribs from the back (because the ribs being jammed are the main cause of this condition. It can happen for various reasons such as an injury to the ribcage, rib separation from an injury, having multiple mini traumas over a period of time to the chest, having spinal issues or postural issues, lifting too heavy, and even coughing or laughing too hard.) and trigger point therapy to break up scar tissue that is being created by the constant injury to the muscles and joints which causes more immobility in the rib joints. It's as if they are stuck in a web if this condition ends up going on for months and years.
I've had Tietze's syndrome for over 15 years and it has never fully healed but regular maintenance with these methods once a month or every couple of months makes it manageable to live with.
Trigger point therapy can cause the syndrome.
I had this for a few months and then got worse. This condition is making me feel hopeless!
I am sorry to hear about your pain, Is your pain fixed now in one year?
Try the back pod. It's available on Amazon. :)
from 6 years im been stressing with heavy pain😥😥😥😥😥😥
Hi! I am french and I want to share my story. I have this pain since 10 years and doctors still tell me that this is nothing but the pain is so important. There is consequences at school, im a student and doctors dont want take me seriously!!
I hope you are doing well…. I have also this problem since from 4 month and 5 is going … …. So how are you feeling now are you doing better …
I have been dealing with this problem for 4 years. I have done so many Streching, physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage.. this month i came across the backpod. It is amazing how much it has helped me.
How amazing! I haven't tried it yet, but I definitely will in the future. Hope you are doing better.
Hi Richard. I received a Backpod may be a week ago. I used it throughout the day the first two days I think I overused it now I just use it in the morning and at night. Can you tell me Richard, how often did you use a Backpod and are you better now? If so do you still use it as like a maintenance preventative type thing?
ive been using the backpod i got off amazon. been using it for two weeks now twice a day for 10 minutes each time. i am now mostly pain free and improving each day. If you watch Bob and Brad here on youtube you will find that Costo is due to where the ribs meet the spine. where they connect to the spine the joint is froze in place and all movement is transferred to the sternum area. The Backpod will free it up
It works get one 😉
Hi Thanks for the comment, I'm french i Saw the vidéo of Bob and Brad but how do you use the backpod please ? You just stay with it on your back for 10 minutes or you moove? I didn't understand well the vidéo
@@immobilierpourpetitsbudget The guy that invented the Backpod has a RUclips channel with how to use videos
His channel is
TheBackpodBodystance
@@carolinawoodsman9494 ok thanks you I juste watch right now the vidéo more recently of them showing exercises with the backpod, I'm gonna buy it ! Thank you for the tips and have a nice evening whereever you are on earth :')
I got Costo 11 years ago after working out 3 1/2 hours a day 4x a week, using too heavy weights etc. Usually it only lasts a week or so for me, but I've had a bout of it for a few months now after getting a bacterial respiratory infection, definitely not fun.
I just ordered the back pod, so I'm going to try that, but a hot water bottle definitely helps along with any natural supplements you can take to keep inflammation down in your body, look up n-acetyl l cysteine and take that on an empty stomach every day. Also stick to non-inflammatory foods and adding in a good daily collagen will help support the joints and ligaments.
Hope you're feeling better since this was a while back.
Did the backpod work?
Backpods the way to go
Please watch steve august’s video on costochondritis. He has explained the cause behind costochondritis and also how to fix this. Use the backpod.
*HELLO! I HAVE THE SAME CASE! HOW ARE YOU NOW? ARE YOU STILL FEELING THAT CHEST PAIN?*
It hurts so much, feels like I have broken my sternum omg
Worst pain/panickattacks in my last 2 years😔
Get a back pod it works and understand why this is happening rather than using pills and steroids.
Are you okay now?
@@soupouuu__398 love. hope u doing ok? i still get it but its not dragging me down as it use to. if u have any pain in your chest, just let it check. if its not something medical talk to yourself what may be causing the pain. thats what i did. coupled with a
psychologist traject... i still have sharp pains in my chest but excirses and stretches are way to good but u have to find te ppl who will teach(trainers/chiroprators/fysio etc)
Where's my Tietze squad at??
yo wassuppppp
@@fatmochi6984 yaaaaaas
@@tiakaplan7770 Does ibuprofen actually help you? For me it barley helps.
@@fatmochi6984 kinda most of the time yeah but it didn't at first because I didn't take it the right way. At first I only took it when the pain got really bad (like after hurting for several minutes) and it did nothing. So I went to the doctor and she said that it will only help if I take it right when it starts hurting even if I am not sure the pain will be severe.
I hope this helps. 😊
@@tiakaplan7770 I take mine at the beginning of eat day before work.. yet there's still an uncomfortable feeling and after the medicine's effects disappear the pain only worsens
I also have tieztz syndrome.Having this pain for last 7month,😔 it feels really bad that I can't move,sleep well like others are doing at my age.
May God bless all 💝
Stay strong! You’re not alone. I feel you on that!
how r u no
How are you today? Is it gone?
It's really scary . Mine feels like it goes round my upper back shoulders aswell. Feels like my ribs are being crushed x
Nicolle Anne I’m sorry. It’s one of the scariest things because the pain comes out of nowhere and can last so long. I hope that you find your way through this. x
Did you get short of breath also?
@@GatoTurd Hello I'm feeling chest tightness and shortness of breath
Same here, it radiates to my middle back, down my arm into my hand.
Back pod will sort this pills and steroids won t.
I got diagnosed with this last week and my concern is after my modified work will I be able to work as before.
I’ve had this since 14 years old on and off and I’m 24 now. The pain is too much it goes across my shoulders and arms I also cannot lie flat. One thing I noticed now that I’m older these symptoms came after I will take steroids for my arthritis, I know it sounds crazy but when I avoided taking steroids I didn’t have any symptoms.
Interesting I used steroid and literally no change in pain
Get a back pod
He’s not lieing it’s true do your research
I get it in my chest and sternum aswell but does anyone else get it in there ribs too on both sides under chest area ? Really sore ribs so sore. And also neck shoulder, but ribs is worse. Do you find stress brings it on anyone ?
Yes, it started on my upper left side (sternum) about 8 months ago and this week I noticed that I had the same thing on my lower right ribs. Freaked me out and got super scared, feeling I needed to see my doctor. But until then I think I will try yoga, plus when I feel anxious I try to focus on my breathing. I will probably order the back pod too. I hope you feeling better.
Hi,
I'm from Hamburg, Germany (actually sporty, a teacher having lot of stress but not much phisically work to do) and have the same problem since 6-12 months... can agree with you as all my doctors told me the same after doing MRT and so on... its just so frustrating, but fortunately its my righthandside that hurts with a swallowed sternoclavicular joint on the right side... do you know if there is a group or something where people can help each other with their experiences?
Thanks again for your video, hope that you have already getting better with it...
Best regards
Daniel
And even that Im not happy that you all need to go to this through, Im also glad to notice that there are more people like me that are young like me (ok with 32 years Im not that young even more ;) and have the same probs... first I thought that this is just a problem that will occur with 60 years on
Hallo Daniel, ich bin auch aus Deutschland, wurde Tietze Syndrom bei dir diagnostiziert? Bei mir wurde es diagnostiziert, habe es seit acht Wochen und hoffe es verschwindet schnell. LG
Lass den Arzt mal genau diese Stellen abtasten. Dann wirst du, und hoffentlich auch der Arzt, merken was es ist. War bei mir heute auch so. Ich hab schon gedacht das ich nen Herzinfarkt habe, aber war eben das Tietze Syndrom.
Bin aus Hannover!
Try the backpod and watch steve august’s video on costochondritis. He has explained in detail why it occurs and how to cure it.
Worst pain of my life ! We will get through this tho you are not alone ❤️ my symptoms range from shortness of breath, heart palpitations, chest pains , and so much more . OneLove
Me 2😔
@@lbz423lb same and is goes on for almost 2 years mine is chronic severe pain😭😭
Same!
does your blood pressure go up
@@womanontherize if you have this is probably because of the stress or anxiety it give you. You have to be relax and focus on your pain and do a lot of physical exercise
I have tietze and it's gonna sound weird but when I'm walking it doesn't hurt that much
Does it hurt while climbing stairs
I've had it for seven years now. Hoping it will just go away but not too optimistic at this point.
I was diagnosed with this 6 years ago, I've had it for 8 years. I currently have had the pain for the past 2 months continuously. This is not a good feeling, do you notice when sleeping on your back it triggers the pain?
I can’t believe you’ve lived with this pain for 8 years. I’ve had it a month, it came on after a blow to the ribcage. I also can’t lie on my back as it hurts (so how on earth would I use a back pod?!). I can only sleep on my left side.
Watch Steve Augusts video about the back pod do it gradually even lying on the bed is a good place to start rather than on the floor.
It's a mechanical issue of the ribs being tight in the back so the front dosnt work well with these back ribs locked up.
Do some research, pills and steroids won t fix this.
The man Steve who invented the back pod had costo also and is a spine and back specialist for thirty years in New Zealand.
I am experiencing this pain on right side and have consulted Orthopedic doctor and Physiotherapist. It's unbearable... I know. My Physiotherapist thinks it's Costocondritis but she is not sure... It pains more on the right upper back...
Do you get arm pit pain?
How are you doing now ?
How are you feeling now? I hope it has improved!
I love how you say the pain is manageable but I can't sleep or sit up or breathe...lol I have this too I can relate
I feel like maybe breathing problem but I feel more disturb by the beat of the nerve nearby the back area …. Do you also feel same … ? How are you now …. Are you feeling better
Do you still have it??
Do you feel better now?
Have you tried the backpod? It has helped me a lot
No I haven’t yet. Thanks for the suggestion!
Where can I buy backpod?
@@coyotenz381 Amazon
Thanks bro. Backpod has saved me.
How is your costo now 2023?
My experience: was playing on computer when this shit hits me hard. I felt like something broke in my left chest. Very hot and painful. Now almost 2 years my life is ruined… all these panic attacks with this pain. Can”t even share a wine with my wife without a pain. Fked up shit :/ does anybody have like good days? Sometimes i get like maximum 3 days when it is not that painful. Comes and goes right away. But usually fking me 3 hours, then goes away for hour and coming back :) keep up boys/girls
this pain hurts so bad i hate it
I had the similar experience. One day I woke up and feeling the pain on my left chest for no reason. Then went to my doctor, he asked questions and did some movement exercise and said it is costochondritis. Currently taking prescribed anti-inflammatory med. I dont want to take too much medicine but once it stops, the pain comes back and I cant even lift weight now. it sucks
Get a back pod it works
@@Skate_48 thanks, def will look into thay
how are you feeling now?
Mam how long it occured with you
I’ve been having this pain for a couple
months now. Constant pressure and soreness up and down both sides of the sternum for me. scary as hell! I went to the doc and was told it was costochondritis. Question for other commenters on this video....does your pain stay in the same spot, or does is move around in the ribs? Mine seems to bounce around, but in the same main areas.
mine has gone around to the lower ribs in the back and shoulders
Back pod works
Do you have a swollen bone that’s inflamed and bigger compared to the others? Still trying to figure out if this is normal or not
@@nocap6000 mate i have tietze syndrome and yes we do have swelling bone in the middle
u healed now?

Does anybody else have fatigued arms and low bp with it?
I’ve been having low bp with it
yes

how has that helped you so far?
@@nehemiahokonda7565 hasn’t helped because she’s promoting it like many other people in these comments. She most likely doesn’t suffer from this. And u wonder why the price is so expensive for a $10 piece of equipment

@@marifecacas6128 omg does it last that long?! I thought it was just for 2 weeks that what my doc said
I am also 17
I’m having the same thing right now. 😞 your exact symptoms. Except mine is on my right side.
Got diagnosed with this on Wednesday.. :( do you have it too that the pain sometimes goes all the way to your left arm?
Tbh I’m still scared it’s my heart haha..
I have this at the right side... just like feeling my nerves in the hand
Yes and hand
Yes
and shoulder
Even though I agree with all what you said, the point with the heat on an inflamation got me a little...
I got diagnosed with it today - but I doubt that heat is really good for that. Inflamations are usually helped with cold - that's also what my doc said..
Anyway, heads up, we'll get through this :)
For acute cases ice pack
For chronic ones- heat pack
As guided by my physio
Get a back pod for a long term fix
No heat for me...it makes it worse but cold pads and cold showers help me...it depends on the person
Same ....heat makes it worse.
Going on 3rd month. Painful sternum, pain in collarbone, under armpit ribs. Back pod, chiropractor, yoga, and nsaid is the only way to go.
yes
I'm still dealing with the pain after 2 months.
Reccomend us some yoga
Thanks for searching this, i have this problem for about 2 year now, chest pain, popping and cracking, and pain on rips
middle Chest pain ?
Yes
try backpod
I havent done anything but i feel this and diagnosed with this😢 its worst
I have no pain unless I press on my ribs, high or low. I was putting vicks on my chest around my breats, I have very large breasts and have always felt some weight pain. So I did not pay attention for a while. Iasked my former doctor about it and she didn't check and just said it is normal.
Recently I have been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver, beginning symptoms, Red splochy palms, yellowey skin or eyes. go for an ultra sound. Could save your life. My first scan didn't hurt, it showed the scar tissue from sugar and fat. You don't have to drink to get it. 40"/" of americans including teenagers have it but only maybe half of these know it. Don't wait until you need a liver transplant. I am 72 I don't think I am eligible.
I am not sorry about the rabbit trail. It was when I went for the deeper colaberating ultra scan I felt the horrindous rib pain. Mostly right chest but also down my sternum. I have no pain unless I press. Whyis mine so different?
I must have an ultrasound scan every 6 months. I am terrified of that pain again. I am disabled so a lot of the exercises are very difficult. Thanks.
This is my question as well. My pain doesn't spread like other people are talking about. It only hurts when I press it or touch it. And it's swollen.

Two Endoscopies normal and 2 years of gastro medicine
3 Chest x-ray normal

Went to chiropractor but didn't help
Went to psycatrist for 6 Months didn't help

Just found out earlier this week.
Anyone having jaw pain
Yeah man, headaches left arm pain. I thought it was heart but doctors and tests are saying no
Same . Go for the back pod .
I’ve been shouting and claiming heart for the Last 3 years .
It’s controlled me every day and changed me - bad tempered because I saw no way out .
Hospitals kept turning me away saying no heart attacks in the past . Blood pressure fine - ecg fine .
Told muscular skeletal.
Sometimes if I’m lucky I can go a few months without pain , but it always returns and every time for me it’s what the beginning of the dying process feels like .
So. I bought the back pod this week and have had it two days .
Google steve - New Zealand - back pod , he is the guy that developed it and The techniques for recovery .
Keep going to the doctors or hospital and keep requesting answers .
Take care of yourselves and try that back pod
You may have Ankylosing Spondylitis, worth checking.
Who just got diagnosed by this let's start a support group here in the comments
Yes do it starts wen u drink soda
The doctor said that j had it when i was 12 and she said it was tietze syndrome and it just left and came back and since then it keeps leaving and comming back lol
Had this for over 10 years
Robert b did you have shortness of breath sometimes with this?
@@GatoTurd I did, it all has to do with inflammation. Stretching helped out. Also laying on my back, on a rubber ball helped. I also bought a nerf ball and cut it in half. And stretched my back out helped. You should also check yourself out for a sliding hiatial hernia. It can cause breathing problems. But you may need to get checked out several times before the doctor sees it.
Robert b Ok I will implement the things you’re telling me to help my cause. It’s just so many little things I feel that’s uncomfortable.
