Hi guys i had this after a chest infection in April and it is a really nasty condition. However, after 2 & a half months after being diagnosed i have found some relief. Vitamin D deficiency is a major factor so get some Vitamin D tablets and your pain will ease. Also Omega-3 tablets help. However, when the doctors tell you to rest and "it'll go away" DON'T DO THAT. I have found that the more i rested the more stiff my chest wall felt and i was just seeing no progress. Ultimately, you need circulation to your costochondral joints. Do not do weights but exercise is definitely needed to recover. Pressups are vital even if it causes excruciating pain just attempting half a pressup a day will lead to a full pressup which will lead to 10. When the pain is bad which it will be take an ibruprofen but don't rely on them as you want your muscoskeletal joints to heal naturally. Everyday make sure you do costo stretches by standing in a doorway and putting your arms against the frame and leaning forward to increase circulation in your body. Drink and eat healthily and follow these rules and you'll get better trust me. It's like when you break a bone you don't just rest and expect it to heal you have to slowly train it in order to redevelop strength and make it less stiff. Good luck fellow costo sufferers you'll beat this!
... Or just do what the doctors tell you.
You should not assume everyone has the condition for the same reasons. In my case vitamin d from a supplement would never help and I've always got enough Omega 3s. By the way you need real vit d from the sun as it's not a vitamin.
Thank you hun,,,l have costo for 3 years
Very informative and I will have to try the stretching exercise.
I'm a 54 year old male and mine began during violent sneezing from allergies in the spring.
I sneezed so hard I threw a vertebra out in my back and felt a pop in my sternum. The next day I went to yawn and stretch late in the say and heard as well as felt a loud pop. The next morning it felt tender and I wasn't sure what was going on.
It finally subsided until I threw out my back a week ago and went to my chiropractor two days later. The adjustments he made included some fairly extensive compressions to the upper torso and it came back. Good to know it's not my heart!
Thanks doc. I was suffering from this condition for quite sometime now.your video has been a blessing.i don't know if I am cured but it has definitely eased the pain.the swimmers move that you have mentioned gave me an instant relief. Thanks so much!Monisha.
This condition unfortunately does not go away by its self. I have done so much research over the years on this condition. I was suffering terribly for 5-6years in so much pain could breath or twist and not a lot of sleep I was so distressed. Please try. The BACK Pod. It takes time but I highly recommend it.
Thank you so much for posting this. I have not been to my dr just yet, but I believe I have costochondritis. I was VERY sick w/ a flu-type cold for 4 weeks. The coughing was very intense for the last 2 weeks, to the point where it made me gag and/or vomit. I noticed the pain in my chest after the last time I vomited. (the vomiting was a very violent experience I should mention) So that was about 3 weeks ago, the pain started to finally subside, and then several days ago I had a coughing spell to the point I gagged. The next morning I felt that same chest discomfort/pain again. I don't have any other symptoms than that, my pulse and BP are normal, etc. I am going to try this stretching exercise, along w/ Ibuprofen, to see if it gets any better over the next few days. If not, then I will make a dr appt! Thank you again for making this video!
How is your costochondritis doing today may 26, 2023? It's now been 5 years since you're comment
You won't find many success stories on forums.... most people that get well move on with their lives and leave forums
Did you get better yet?
Just got diagnosed with this condition I can tell you now it's so bloody painful even good pain killers don't work!
Did it get better yet?
@@donny5429 it has but it comes and goes. When it’s inflamed holy shit it’s like being stabbed over and over again
@@MegaGreva Do you feel better now?
i would like to say thank you in person but i cannot, so i will say it here. THANK YOU, SO MUCH. i want to jump with joy right now.
i rolled 2 tshirts up into a ball and layed on them with my back. i moved around in a circle, slowly breathing in as i tried to maniplulate the ball of tshirt to really Get In There and.. idk what happened but.. i have absolutely no pain in my chest anymore (it was a little to the left where the rib connects, exactly like you explained in your video)
it started when i tried to reach a mosquito bite on my back and ever since then ive been in pain.
you said it was possible to throw it out of alignment and.. i think i just brought it back.
no pain... anymore... nothing.. it wss so bad it hurt to breath and now im sitting here.. no pain.. nothing... jist a little tight from previous inflammation..
i appreciate that you shared this information, so much.
i would be shaking your hand with a smile that stretches ear to ear if i could right now.
My daughter had it for a year the pain eased for few weeks but returned. She is 20 years old just had MRI, x-Ray's twice, blood tests and went for second opinion,specialist didn't want to start meds, she to young. Pain started after her dance class,not able to dance since. Thanks for info will try chiropractor.
Jean Paul How's she doing now? Not sure you'll get the notification for this comment as it's been a year.
The Doctor in this video said "It typically occurs in Women over age 40" but men get it as well, trust me; I had it for four years.
I am curious how or what did u do to get rid of it.
@@mariamedeiros-charters6008, it just went away but I do get the odd flair up from time to time that lasts a day or two.
I forgot to ask you when you had the costo did you have issues with deep breathing or anxiety.? And did you ever have treatment for it. Appreciate your answers on this.
@@mariamedeiros-charters6008 I would have some minor stabbing pain when taking a deep breath. The only treatment my doctor advised was physio and core strengthening to build up the muscle around the sternum but that would cause it to hurt more.
I found that a hot water bottle on my chest and a TENS muscle stimulator on my upper back (Dr. Ho's) would ease it a little. I would sleep with this combo on the regular.
good point about the tennis ball. I found that trying any stretches really made it a lot worse. Laying in bed at night was nasty, like my whole back was loaded up with this awful and very deep tension.
I have got beginning of this year early janurary and working and running has helped a lot. Along with ginger water tea which actually helps with inflammation.
How's your costochondritis doing today 5 yrs later?
great video from last few month i have been getting mid pain in chest it mostly occur during morning time when i get up and when i sneeze and pain goes away within minute. now i'm going to follow this exercise hope it will work, thanks in advance.
I'm a teen going through costochondritis will it go away as I age? It's been happening for 6 years plus.
Yo, I'm 52 and I just got it on the morning of New Years Eve before 2017. I immediately starting to see Dr. Google & Dr. RUclips and found that it ALL leads to our upper back spine.
There's this thing called a BACK-POD where you need to lie on for couple minutes a day for about 3-weeks to notice a difference in the pain feathering off. But its better to keep using it till the pain no longer comes back, good luck and hang in there!!
Qi Huna thanks
Qi Huna vitamin d3 5000iu supplements capsules will cure ur costo for ever within a few weeks. Get asap and start taking everday and boom say goodbye to costo
ninquito You can use a simple cheap neck buddy, bent in a U-shape, placed on the back. I did a few videos on costo. Various things can help it but I don't think costo ever really goes away permanently for a lot of sufferers.
Qi Huna Did you actually use the back pod? Are you 100% sure that the back pod is what stopped any pain you were experiencing?
Actually the stretch helped me
To me actually i notice the pain for the first time while stretching...and then the pain stays ..maybe I'll go to chiropractor now
Did it get better yet?
I have been going through this since I was a child. My mother has taken me numerous times to the doctor and to ERs cause it gets so painful to just breath. I'm 28 now and I get attacks all the time. I don't lift and I don't strain myself like I used to but its a recurring thing and I am so sick and tired of it.
Mel A You poor thing. Mine started as an adult. Can't imagine it since childhood. Did anyone or anything ever work even a little to make it better?
Thank you for this video. It lasts a long time when you have a baby/toddler.
Hi Dr. Taylor,
Thanks for your video.
I've struggled with costo for 3 months and it recently flared up again after a couple laps swimming at the pool. For people who've had it for a while who have rested for several weeks and still have not recovered, what do you suggest I do?
I've seen 3 primary care doctors, a chiro 10x in 3 weeks, physical therapy for 1 month, multiple massage therapists, and a whole lot of money being spent out of pocket.
I've kind of gotten to a point where I'm desperate because my life is predicated on physical activity and exercise.
Do you suggest acupuncture? injection? PT? Chiro?
Thanks, Nick
Nick Erskine ... Nick, I did a followup video on costo on my channel. I have only been to one guy who stopped mine for a long time. I'm going to go back to him and see if he will let me record on video the maneuver he did. I tried explaining it a little in the video I just put up, so go to my channel and look for "Chiropractor #2 Costochondritis 4am flare-up". See if the maneuver I explain is close to what your physical therapist or chiro did. I'm trying to fix it too, and it's relentless. I'm on the couch now with ice and heat... hence doing an update video on it. (Uggh)
Get a backpod, it helped relieve it for me.
Thank you so much!!!! I have this and I was worried feel way better now
Have you seen people who have been revived in ER or those who have been in a coma on a ventilator for 12 days - could that have caused it? I have had this for 15 months now since coming home and just diagnoised with Costochondritis. I am about to have surgery #4 (someone made an error on me during gall bladder surgery and i went Septic Shock) as you see I lived, thank God - but I have this Costochondritis on top of everything else and am scared it will be worse with the next surgery being complicated. I have an incisional hernia that is trapped in 2 places so I can't do those deep stomach exercises but can do light weight things. Would the laser be good to use and does it make it go away? thanks so much
I've had this for 6 months now, it's bloody awful. Started after a really nasty chest infection.
karen o'connor how you doing today?
Where can I purchase a laser like you have . ?? I have had this problem for about two years. Even when I touch my area the ribs are very sore
I am suffering from last 4 months,,medicines though expensive but not giving complete recovery,,I am 32,, will it continue for life time or it is curable? If curable,is it partial or complete? I am really worried.
suggest me a doctor in banglore i have been suffering from last one year from this 😐

Hi, not sure if mine is costochondritis or not? I'm a 44 year old male. It started about 8 months ago. I get a lot of muscle tension in the middle of my back, shoulders and neck. The chest bit occurs in the morning when I get up and stretch....the only way I can describe it is a 'pop' sound coming from the centre of my chest, around the sternum. It can occur at other times during the day...but once I stretch and hear the 'crack/pop' it feels okay again.
I do have anxiety also, so wondering if it is another symptom of that?
Any and all help gratefully appreciated.
Paddy same with me. My neck sometimes bothers me radiates to shoulder and outer arm. I play tennis so not sure if maybe its my rotator cuff starting to act up. But i do know that i have this condition that Dr dereck said . He was right on with my symptoms. I also have anxiety
I too, have anxiety. How are you guys feeling a year later? I just found comments I made 6 months ago under another costo video and realized I've had a flare up longer than I thought. Lol
Pléase help i live in France and ive the same desease so what is the cure thx i sufer a lot its been Tow months...
Can it happens at the controlatetal (right) side?
My doctor says that I might have costo, but after hearing you guys talking about how painful it is, I'm questioning if I really do have it.
So, basically the first week when I woke up, I had this tightness on my right side from my back all the way to the front ribs, and it just wouldn't go away.
After that I kept feeling a tightness the whole time.
It's been 6 weeks, and I can feel great improvements. The tightness isn't there as much, I can sit normally on my couch again ( although with a little bit of tightness, but wayyyyy less than the first week), and the cracking on my ribs aren't there as much anymore.
So the reason I don't think I have it, is because I feel no pain anywhere near my sternum, at all. The pops that I feel aren't even near my sternum, it's like its literally in the middle of my ribs.. I can do pushups without having any pain whatsoever, not even a tightness, nada.
So for the people who do have costo, are these symptoms that relate to costo? Or do I have something entirely different? Because compared to the first week, I feel a huge improvement, and I'm currently on week 6.
I hope you can answer this, and thank you for your time.
See a chropracter. Stop messing about.
I've had this problem for 2 years. Its really got me depressed, I've had heartburn for about the same amount of time and idk what to do
Chiro!
Hey thanks so much for all the info. Very informative.
Can you get it when you are 15 and a boy?
C.D.E gaming I have it and I'm younger than you and female
Yes for sure
I am 13 yers old boy, I just got this lump looking something like the starting of year 2017 can u tell me how to get rid of it plz
It might be Tietze's Syndrome. You should talk to a chiropractor/physical therapist about it. If they don't know what costochindritis/Tietze's Syndrome is then look for a doctor who knows because most doctors will say they don't know what it is as it's a rare condition. I have this condition. I've had it for 18 years and just recently found good doctors. Good luck!
Very helpful information
Their was no picture
ive had this front rib pain for years i dunno wtf to do
Same Iv had it for about 2 years, had heart tests blood tests, iv been to numerous GP’s and they are so useless , it feels like I have a rib out so I’m booked in with the chiro to try and sort this shit out cus it’s no fun, I have a mild scoliosis too which I don’t think helps with my ribs 🙄
Dr. Taylor, can you please type out the name of the syndrome you mentioned in the beginning of this video, it sounds like tsetse syndrome. Thanks!
It is in the title of the video
I've had Costochondritis for 20 months resulting from having pneumonia. I tried cortisone injections, gluten free diet, fasting, ultra sound, physical therapy, red light therapy, medication and EVERYTHING else you can possibly think of. Just today I am actually dealing with a flare-up because I over did myself at the gym yesterday. It's exhausting. I have a page on my website and a book on the subject. If you have Costo, you may want to check it out as it packed full of resources, links, videos and more. My book is called "Living with Costochondritis" because I never got rid of it but I am learning how to live with it and you can too.
Sharon Fitzgerald i recommend you look up Steve August. You are incorrect in saying you just have to live with it. It is all to do with your ribs connecting to your vertebrae. Steve August invented The Back Pod. Curing it is a matter of freeing up those hinged ribs in your back.
Cookedaburra d Not for everyone. I have the Backpod and it only makes me worse. Nothing has worked for me.
Sharon Fitzgerald Wow, can you even go to the gym? I can hardly take a walk without worsening it - it's been 14 months here.
Can I still train jui jitsu!!? I don't care about pain as long as it's not life threatening!!!
Where do you find the lazer
mind is on the upper part i think it is T T syndrome please help
I am 27 years old and have had this since 9 years old. I've been told I'll have it forever :/ as I type this I am having the pain and it sucks! It's so bad that it is also in my jaw
God help you. See a chiropractor. I have it too.
I've been having the issue for about 3 months, I'm age 32 male. I always do a butterfly stretch and it pops the spot where the rib meets the sternum and the pain goes away, but it comes back in a couple of hours and I have to do it again..
DivShadow stop doing that stretch. You are not helping yourself you may actually be worsening it.
Cook, I've been doing some reading on it and it says a lot of people do the stretching to get rid of the pain with no real problems caused. I just wish this would go away. I think this started when I was putting some good time on the bench press.
DivShadow look up Steve August's video on costochondritis. Hes the only one who explains it properly. His 'Back Pod' invention is helping alot of people cure their costo. Sounds like hype but its just plain science.
Cook, Thank you I'll look at it now.
DivShadow Hows the costo now?
Can I buy that laser
Where are you located
I believe I have costochondritis, and I also have lupus, and schrogrens syndrome, witch both cause a lot of inflammation all over my body...My Dr, thinks it too, but I am not any better...I am taking ibuprofen without much relief. Where is your office?
Thank you,

ibuprofen, advil, aleve, etc should ALL be avoided at all cost, UNLESS its a Life or Death situation in that very moment, IT WILL DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD OTHERWISE!!
Good luck!

I'm 56 and have had a Costochondritis Dx since 1993
...Now, i have been told it is nerve damage and I am an intractable pain patient ...however, it doesn't flair up on a 'continual' basis -
.....It is a horrible condition to have for some 30 years tho..
...Im now a recluse and avoid most if not all social interaction ...body isn't reliable enough for a 9-5 job either. The flair ups hurt until they eventually burn themselves out after 14 or 18 hours. i don't have any meds to take other than over the counter motrin...of course it doesn't show up on x-rays MRIs...and anything else. It's a fate worse than death itself ...i wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy if I even had one....
Shann Ruggles It is wretched and totally kicks the crap out of you. When you're walking around holding it, move the wrong way, slouch the wrong way, etc etc... You just almost know when it's coming. What have your docs ever recommended?
Did the costo cause nerve damage OR did the nerve damage cause the costo?
I have it too. It is horrible. My house is a mess because having an episode.
Going to Emerg for Lyrica.
I've had costochondritis for 5 years and tried everything. I had no control over this so called mystery condition until mid December when I found a video on you tube which made total sense. Just watch for yourselves. Just search . How to fix (most) Costochondritis. There is a part 1 and part 2. Three weeks later after purchasing the Backpod I have hardly any chest pain and feel 90% better. I thought my condition was for life but obviously not. See for yourself. It's working for me .
Did it?! I've had it badly for about 3-4 Years. how long did it take before you felt it started to work?

I've now been using the backpod for 10 weeks and have been pain free for 9 weeks. My back is really flexible and I can breathe normally again. For me, these improvements happened in a matter of days. I am so glad I found the backpod. It is the best money I have ever spent. Well worth it to have my life back..
Hi Karen,
How are u feeling now? Is it all gone?
I have it for 6 years... seen 30+ useless doctors but non of them could diagnosed... Just got diagnosed 3 months back... Been on anti-inflammatory medication since i was diagnosed, initially it helped and i though i was getting better so went to the gym and it's back again... and reaally reaally bad like never before... any help would be highly appreaciated!
Cetin Bilgin The guy who invented the back pod is Steve August. He has people making comments about it on how great it works. I've seen many people say it doesn't work.
Jill Talk What are you talking about? You trying to say that all the positive reviews on it are just Steve getting people to say it works for sales? Seriously? Its actually had more positive reviews than negative ones. The Back Pod wasn't invented for costo but it was realised that it adresses the mechanical issues involved in costo. You claim it hasn't worked for many so show us the proof?
BACK POD is the answer..... Steve August... Costo...

I was told I have this about a month ago. I have horrible panic and anxiety already, and this has made it worse. People keep telling me it’ll go away in a month or two, but I’ve heard of so many cases like yours where it lasts for years. I’ve only had it for a little while, but I understand how hard the anxiety aspect can be. I hope you can find relief soon!
I had it a few years ago and read drinking a quart of water in the morning upon waking would help. It worked for me in less than a week.
What do you mean by quart of water
Sheheryar Ali awan 1 quart = 4 cups of water.
I thought i was having a heart attack or had pulmonary embolism. But now i think its due to a misaligned rib or from my scoliosis. I took terrys naturals Curamed, boy did it work!
