I literally was in ER 2 hours ago. I have had this for like 10 years, literally as long as I can remember. I was so scared for so many years that I never mentioned it. I am watching and reading everything, I have never felt such relief. I thought I for sure was going to die any day. I have 2 children and wife. I really can’t believe this.
So glad that this helped you get some answers and relief. That kind of pain can be very scary. Hopefully the ER was clear for everything else so that this gives you an idea on where to focus to get the care that you need.
Tyler I am in the same boat with you
Wow 10 years have you bought the back pod ?
I have had this for 12 years and every test known to man done , every kind of therapy and still i suffer
*THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THESE HELPFUL INFOS DOC!* 😊
Thank you. I have this for months. It got better then came back.
Happy to help. It’s common to have it come back and that can be frustrating. Hope that the information here helped you.
I'm having this problem for over a year now ,thank you for the video
Happy to help however I can. Thank you for the comment. I hope that this video allows you to find the best Doctor of Chiropractic to help you. A year of this kind of problem can be a long time to deal with it.
This is one of the best videos that I have seen about CC.
Is such such a horrible pain that In experience everyday for a few years and nothing seems to help. I’m doing physio therapy at the moment and new New Years resolution is to get better, i cannot go another year living with this pain.
I’m “pushing” myself to do chest exercises 2 to 3 a week even that the pain can be unbearable, I just can’t wait until I can fully breath again.
I will try some of this exercises.
Thank you.
Wow! Thank you for that complement @trendylanecoulsdon. Glad that you’re taking action to correct the issue. Be sure to consult with whoever you’re getting care from to ensure that you’re doing what’s best for your specific issue. So glad that you found value in this video.
@@DrAlexVidanDC sir I have same problems what you told in this video I also meet so many doctors but they can not find my problem in chest pains please help me sir
I hate to hear that you’ve been dealing with that and it’s causing you so much pain. Hopefully the information in the video helps. I would also suggest finding a doctor of chiropractic that focuses on correcting structural issues and has experience with ribs subluxations and costochondritis.
I have the same issue, Lenia - I literally feel your pain - this is a horrible condition to live with.
This is probably one of the best videos I've seen on this condition. While I have never been officially diagnosed with costo (after multiple trips to the ER thinking this is a heart issue and told it's an msk issue due to stress and anxiety) I'm at my wits end - I've had this pretty acutely for about 4-5 months now - I cannot work out anymore, or drum with my band - even walking sets it off - I have developed a pretty severe anxiety disorder as a result as well thinking I'm going to drop dead from a heart attack throughout the day - good times! I'm finally going to go see a chiropractor this week - praying they can help me with this horrible condition - not fun to live with on a daily basis! Thank you for this video - it gives me hope that I can be pain free one day - I can literally push on parts of my sternum and the pain is pronounced - and it radiates up my chest too and into my back too - pretty darn sure this is what I am dealing with.
I've seen patients with similar situations. One thing leads to the next and then it can become a frustrating spiral causing more stress/anxiety and lead to more pain. I appreciate you commenting that this is one of the best videos you've seen on this condition! Truly hope that the DC that you see can explain what's going on and get you results.
@@DrAlexVidanDC it's a horrible condition to live with :( I did go see a DC on Thursday - did a full physical history on me and then did a physical test - my neck, upper back and even lower back are in a mess - he ordered a bunch of x-rays to be done and I am following up with him on Monday to see what exactly is going on. He wants to go over the x-rays first before diagnosing me - but it was a good appointment and one I felt good leaving that I feel I'm actually going to hopefully get some answers and treatment options on what is going on with me.
Great to hear! Thank you for following up and glad that you’re in good hands.
Just what I needed!!!!
Thank you @libragoddess !! Glad that it helped!
I am 19 mos and counting Tietze Syndrome 🤦🏻♀️ passing out, complete heat intolerance inc having to take cool showers. My right arm has become completely useless sometimes I cannot even finish washing my hair. I am having constant panic attacks the anxiety is off the charts and I am extremely weak. I cannot be outside for any length of time, not even 10 minutes. Unfortunately I just got the diagnosis just prior to COVID-19 restrictions so I did not receive injections yet. I am on oral medication of course I have other issues as well Fibromyalgia, Arthritis and several spine surgeries. I was hopeless at one point but I am finding these videos useful in deciding what to do post stay at home and restrictions. Thanks 😊
@clairemcgorry 19 months is a long time, but I’m so glad to hear that these videos are helping. Hopefully you can get more of the care you need soon!
Wow I had this all going on as well! Every single symptom except I felt better when I went outside. I have to take cold showers now too so crazy.
I’ve been dealing with Costochondritis for 7 years now and tried the back pod and all the stretches but nothing helped. This video has giving me hope and the push to see a chiropractor to sort out my nightmare called “Costochondritis “ Thanks again
I've had costochondritus chest pain for over 3 months. A dull ache that comes and goes. Going to a chiropractor has made a big difference this week. Taking boswellia for inflammation helps too. Excellent video - thanks!
Thank you @mauriceB! I truly appreciate your feedback and I’m so glad that you’ve found relief. That kind of pain can be very difficult to deal with.
Me too I have been having pain in my chest for about 3 months it’s right in the center of my sternum but idk how to fix it
200 Iq Player I hope this video gave you some insight on what to look for in getting it fixed and a few things to do to help.
@@shakarlamsal8624 I would suggest you find a good chiropractor who has had experience of treating this problem. That has really helped me!
Maurice B exactly! Good suggestion. Glad that you found a Doctor of Chiropractic that can help you.
Thank you so much I was thinking something was wrong with my heart
Glad it helped. When there’s a possibility of a heart issue it’s always good to get confirmation through examination and testing.
Thanks, Dr.
I have just two question.
First, can i do running during costo?
Second, can i do bodyweight workout with costo?
Thanks for giving the information Dr. I am having this pain for 2weeks it's mild, sometimes it goes away...and then it comes back ... Hope to get results 🙏❤️
Happy to help @AvishekBhattacharya !! Thank you for the comment. Please let me know how it goes
Same here Mild and comes and goes. Went to the doctor check me out. EKG normal Went for a stress test normal. Now they want me to go for nuclear medicine to insert a dye in my veins to check the heart
Hi Doc! Great video thanks for the advice. I'm in the UK and i had all these symptoms and pains for 3 weeks, multiple trips to ER where i thought i was having heart attacks and then in the 4th week i was diagnosed with costo. I spent those 3 weeks working out, doing push ups and losing weight as i thought it was my heart but only aggravated it! I purchased the back pod which has helped a bit so far! Feels great whilst i use it anyway...My question is, how soon can you start doing these other stretches? Should you rest fully for a certain amount of time and ice to reduce inflammation BEFORE you start trying to do all these stretches or can i incorporate them into the daily routine right away? Thanks!
Good questions @Barbz. It really depends on what your treating doctor prescribed. For some of my patients I will have them do these exercises while they’re actively having problems but there are some that I do not want them to do the exercises until after I have completely resolved the issue through specific adjustments. Hopefully this helps you get a better understanding with your complaints. I’m glad to hear that at the hospitals they found that it wasn’t anything to do with your heart though.
Same here multiple trips to the er. Once I feel the pain. I start freaking out. I think my pain comes from sleeping bad sideways and hurting the center costo
Thank you. This pain has been bad for over 8 months. I’ve had CT’s , heart scans and test after test and nothing is helping. I also just found out that I have disk deterioration in C5 C6 and C7 which is probably adding to that. I have to get a referral from my primary care doctor to see a orthopedic doctor. Do you know of any good chiropractors in the Knoxville Tennessee Oak Ridge Tennessee area?
@deannaford sorry that I'm just seeing this and getting back to you. I know how frustrating it can be to try so many things and not get the results that you need. I know several chiropractors in TN. Do you still need help finding someone?
I feel much better trust me
Thanks a lot!!!
Great to hear!
I had pain since March, by playing catch in rain, man it hurts after 2 weeks incident started to swell like a tumor, could bend down or feel my right arm, when ER nothing wrong with heart at this time, proscribe naproxen, diclonac, ibuprofen nothing work, made it worst! I got sum 1 NORCO pain is gone! For 3 days, than started stretching back, ribs, chest start to crack, slowly started to feel better!
Replied in previous comment
Thank you
Thank you for the comment
I've been diagnosed with Tietze syndrome and had it about a year now. I manage it myself but my question is, could I have a rib out? When I have a flare up, it's the worse pain I've ever experienced ( I've had 5 kids, so I'm not a pushover) and it then takes around 2-3 weeks to settle. I'm from the UK and treatment is not available on the NHS. Any suggestions please?
THK U SOLVED MY PAIN. WENT TO HOSPITAL FEW TIMES ECG OK PRESSURE SUGAR OK BUT AFTER YOUR ADVISE EXERCISE STOP THE PAIN BUT EXERCISE DAILY FOR RELIEF OF PAIN
That’s great news! Glad to hear that everything was good at the hospital and that now your pain is gone!
How would a chiropractor go about determining if you have rib misalignment? Physical examination? I am 32 years old and I exercise regularly and would be considered to be in good shape. I've had sternum swelling (rib 2 area on sternum) and pain while doing certain things (twisting, turning over while sleeping, certain movements, etc) for 6 months now, initially noticing it while I was playing a lot of tennis in the summer. I got x-rays done with my doctor and everything came back normal. He put me on anti-inflammatory meds for a few weeks, but the pain came back right after I was done. I plan to see a chiropractor as my next set of actions, as well as doing your exercises/stretches.
@BenStehr I'm happy to help. Yes, a thorough history and physical exam are going to be best for your chiropractor to determine if there's a structural issue with your rib. Glad to hear that the x-rays came back normal. I hear from patients that it can be frustrating to not find anything on x-ray, but the good news is that it's not something that's a larger issue. The inflammation can come from an underlying structural issue so the anti-inflammatory meds not resolving the problem may make sense. Make sure that the DC that you see has experience in evaluating and treating rib misalignments.
Dr. Thank you for the video
Doctor one questain Is it ok for GYM workouts if we have costochondritis?
@alsiraj007 I'm happy to help however I can. You'll want to consult with your doctor about that for you specifically. For my patients I typically want them to continue to exercise for overall health, but allow the injured area to heal as optimally as possible. I have my patients limit certain exercises after I've discussed with them their specific exercise routine and style (traditional, cross fit, Olympic lifts, body weight, ballistic movements, etc). I don't want any exercises to cause more problems for my patients healing.
What martial art do you think can I go on with with costochondritus? Something like shotokan, or wing chun?where you pull one arme behind while punching.(contarmovement) I think it has to be a standing straight up art. With boxing you lock yourselve up a bit I think. The back pod did not help me. Thnx.
Hi Dr. Vidan. I enjoyed your video. Actually it was a confirmation of what treatment my doctor prescribed for me. After xrays I was diagonosed with my thoracic veterbrate being out of line. My chiropractor aligned that with adjustments. My Physical Therapist diagnosed me with costocondritis.Fortunately I did not have alot of pain especially in the back area. The issue for me was the soreness and tenderness in the rib cage due to the inflammation. It has been almost two months, and I was still dealing with inflammation. My question is do I just continue with the cold packs? I have also been using a topical gel. Thank you.
Good question @sandraedwards. Very glad to hear that you’ve received the care that you need thus far. I’d definitely recommend that you speak to your treating healthcare providers about best practices for you specifically. After being out of the acute phase of care 20min of ice with a towel between the skin and ice may be needed on occasion for some of my patients dealing with this, but it’s not often. If someone is continuing to have inflammation their is likely a structural reason that it has continued for the past two months. I’d suggest seeking care with your healthcare provider because you don’t want it to continue and get worse.
Thank you will do.
thanks doctor for this video is very helpful
i have a question please, i have this pain since 3 weeks now i take a rest without any results, in scared to be injured all my life :/
@zino I understand that you’re worried this could be a problem for your entire life, and that is a legitimate concern. For my patients I recommend they try what’s recommended in this video. If that doesn’t work, then I recommend that we work together to correct the problem. It’s importing find a Doctor of Chiropractic that has experience in helping people with this issue.
Would an x-ray not show whether a rib is out of position or not?
Hi good video.... I have costo and I was seeing a chiropractor who said my rib keeps going out of place. But I’m afraid they have made it worse... I have hypermobility and I feel like they adjusted me too much in my front rib area. I never really got relief from them...I recently discovered it could be an issue with a rib/joint being locked up around the back that causes this. And you need to stretch out the Locke duo area in the back. What’s your opinion on that?
Good question @KtotheT. I can't speak for the Doctor of Chiropractic that you were seeing or their care. I know that in my office I evaluate and determine the course of care differently than most. We adjust and provide therapy to strengthen and stabilize. We also want to be sure to get proper motion and stretch the necessary areas. I find that often with ribs multiple aspects need to be addressed and corrected.
Dr Alex Vidan yes The one I saw was very nice and caring, and tried to help. But it didn’t. I think they may have strained my already hypermobile ribs in the front... but guess I can’t do much about it now. I’m using the backpod and trying to stretch. I notice the costo seems to flair up when I do much exercise.
Hey dr I’ve been having pains in the upper sternum area for almost 2 months now I went to get X-rays and nothing was wrong and said I had costo ive been doing stretches , taking Advil , and lowering my stress but I still get inflammation all day long I do believe what I eat and drink is triggers and is there any way How I should sleep ? When I touch down on sternum I feel joints popping Is that normal for Costo ?
@oasale it's tough to see anything related to costo on an xray, but I'm glad that they didn't find anything else. Sounds like you're doing the right things and doing the best you can for it. Sleeping can be difficult with costo pain. Once I've examined my patients we discuss specific sleeping positions so that they can sleep and heal. I typically find that back and then side sleeping is best for costo, but it's very specific to the person and pillow placement.
Hello doc I’ve experiencing episodes of chest pain (left and right) sternum level and i find it hard to make a deep breath. Definitely there’s tightness and i feel pain in my upper back also. My oxygen level are fine per my oxymeter and i dont have cough or cold or fever. My sinuses become clogged in the evening. I find some relief when i spread my chest while inhaling but it doesn’t last long and the pain and tightness are back again. I refuse to take any NSAID.
@A'badPris'ner I'm happy to help. When a rib has a malposition it can cause pain in the front and back, so that may be part of the issue for people with costo. Sinuses typically are not related to costo, but can be related to spinal misalignments. For patients with complaints similar to yours, I'd recommend finding a doctor of chiropractic that focuses on structure and functional correction then meeting with them to see if they can help.
Thank you doctor for this video I have been having this pain now for a month! Out of nowhere but two weeks before the pain! I had both of my arms pinned behind my back and I was on the floor so I'm thinking that's where the pain came from I woke up and felt like I was having a heart attack I went into the ER they did all type of test told me they couldn't find anything it was information on my check! I've been in the hospital two times when I first went it was on my right side! Now it have want to my left side where my heart is one minute it feel like it's getting better than next few hours I feel the pain all over again I actually can feel the swollen ness in my chest! When I feel both sides of my chest I can feel the swollen on one side Should I take my pain pill before trying to stretch?
The good news is that you've been to the hospital to determine that it's nothing more serious like your heart. I'm glad to hear that for you. As for taking the pain pill I'd recommend following the prescribing doctors instructions and contacting them with any specific question about that. A lot of my patients find relief with specific adjustments to the involved ribs. It typically doesn't feel good while it's taking place but they get relief immediately after. Typically they get off the table and note that they can breathe much better and it no longer feels swollen or painful.
Thanks for this info, but what about someone with something like 2nd degree scoliosis?
Thank you @olimpioamoes. Do you mean someone with scoliosis and a rib subluxation or how do I care for someone with only scoliosis?
Thanks for the video, Ive been having this for 6 months I stopped gym. It was the dip that destroyed me. Im trying ice, stretching, putting a tennisball behind my back... Nothing works
That can be really frustrating. If you’ve tried everything and nothing is working then I’d have to suggest finding a chiropractor that focuses on structural correction and knows how to detect and correct a rib out of place. You should be able to call a few offices near you or ask a few friends at your gym who they trust for care. Look at reviews and make sure that you feel comfortable with the office and chiropractor.
Same here brother..I also can't perform dips in the gym. It hurts terribly when I try to perform even a single dip, It hurts in the chest sternum & even in the spine. 😔
That is so painful & frustrating..!! 😔
May be the anxiety created by it caused me the erectile dysfunction as well..!! 😔
I can't feel like connected with myself..!! 😔
I have lost all my confidence..!! 😔
@@Aman.3277 Costo is really a horrible condition. Sometimes I can't help but just cry the entire night. As I am haveing pain and trouble breathing. But there is a Costo subreddit that gave me a lot of comfort. There are a lot of people on there talking about Costo and how it relates to other problems they are experiencing. I think you should check it out, it might bring you some comfort as well.
@@EveLuna23 hey buddy..Thanks for ur concern. 😇
But I am absolutely fine now. I'd met a chiropractor last month. He brilliantly treated me and there u go, I am absolutely fine now, no pain at all. 😇
I got my confidence back, even my erectile dysfunction problem is also solved. 😊
Love seeing this! Glad you found someone to help you and you’re getting results
This is an issue with the ribs in the back locking up causing overuse of the front ribs. Many doctors have got this wrong for many years. Just look up Steve August on Bob and Brads podcast or on his own RUclips channel.
Dr Vidan, I’ve had this condition for 12 years now and I always have to go to emergency because i also get spasms and that hurts even more. Can you please recommend someone. Thanks 🙏🏼
@LuzSanabria I'm happy to help. Let me know the city and zip code that would be best for you and I'll see who I know there.
How will i know if my rib is out or its just inflammation?
My doc just diagnosed me with this but I'm also having very bad pain in my lower ribs, back and especially in my xiphoid area. Doc says that's all costochondritis? All over things have been ruled out, like heart, lungs, gastro, etc. Can a chiropractor help with xiphoid pain or muscle related pain in that area? Thank you.
I’m very happy to hear that your heart, lungs, gastro, etc. have been ruled out. Yes, the right chiropractor can help with this. Be sure to find someone that knows how to address the complaints that you’re having through proper and specific adjustments to correct the structural misalignments. Correcting the structure is key here.
Hey doc i got costco a week ago im scared its gonna last forever and my anxiety wont stop what do i do
Im also 17
Doctor, how can I determine a rib is out of position. My pulmonologist believe I have costochondritis that was caused by a chronic cough. I’ve had the pain for months now. It’s dull pain on the chest that I get when I cough, sneeze, or move a certain way.
I often see what you're experiencing with my patients dealing with costo. I'd recommend finding someone near you that has experience dealing with this to help you. I've seen chronic coughs lead to and make rib problems much worse. You want to make sure that you find someone with experience in correcting this.
Thanks for this useful video,the information about the sternum/ Costochondritis
I'm happy to help. Thank you for this comment @douglascompton
Dr. Vidan I have a pain under my right breast and in the same position on my back,
but this pain starts only when I lie down. I m fine standing, sitting.
I felt a swelling on the sternum area too, also difficulty in breathing.
Please advise...... thank you
@shobakhubchandani that can be difficult to deal with. I’d recommend trying to find a Doctor of Chiropractic that focuses on structural misalignment issues of the ribs. I recommend for my patients to try what’s shown in this video when appropriate as well.
I had costo for a few months its basically better now. The only lingering pain is that when I wake up in the morning (and sometimes through out the day) I get a dull pain in one of my ribs when I look down. Could that be a rib out of place?
Yes, @TBrighton that's a complaint that I hear from patients a lot. Lingering pain that affects their activities of daily living. It's happened to me as well so I can relate to you.
My chest x-ray and ekg were fine so my doctor said I had Costochondritis because you can press down on my chest and locate the pain. Mine isn’t really painful when I breathe though but I do have chest tightness and heavyness. Mostly tender on my right side of sternum. lifting is my life and I just want to get back to my normal routine. I bet those one arm military presses on the total body gym did it lol
Haha! Could be those presses! Either way I’m glad to hear that you had it checked and the x-ray and ekg were fine. That’s really good news. Maybe your MD knows a good Doctor of Chiropractic near you that has experience with rib adjustments that can help you. That way you can get back to lifting like you want to.
Dr Alex Vidan I hope so lol I’m only 19 and just started getting these pains 6 days ago they gave me Mobic
Alix Kirkland the good news is that since you’re younger and it only started 6 days ago you should heal quickly.
You didn't mention that ot could be a rib at the back out of place too and putting strain on the front. That's what I think is causing my problem.
@bernadettemchugh there’s a lot of variables that could cause the problem. A rib could be out in the back causing problems in the front. You could also get an anterior rib that would directly cause a subluxation of the rib at the costosternal joint.
Get pressure and cracking sometimes when i do dips and pullups so annoying
That's common with this kind of issue. Can be very annoying and eventually cause pain and difficulty working out.
Will it be healed completely?
Hi Doctor, if the ribs are out of place and an x ray doesn't show it how will a chiropractor know which rib needs to be adjusted?
@Daisy’sMom good question and thank you for asking. The history, examination, and palpating the specifically involved rib(s).
Does a rib misalignment show up on an X-ray? I’ve been to a chiropractor four times and nothing has worked so far. Also have you heard of a “Backpod” before? A lot of good reviews about this product. Thanks in advance!
The backpod does work. Get it as soon as possible. I started getting relief from it immediately.
@@user-ib2kt4oo7i Did you lay on the Backpod in the middle of your spine or off to the side a little between your shoulder blade and spine? Some videos I saw said you should never lay an object directly on the spine. Some other videos said you won’t get the benefit unless u have it under your spine. What did you do? Thanks!
@@stevek3306 I put it along different spots on my spine. It comes with instructions on how to use it. I use it several times a day. It becomes part of your life when you're going through it bad. It's worth every cent if you proactively use it. I use it as soon as I get up and right before I go to sleep.
I can't speak about the Backpod. I've never used it, but I have people that come to me that have tried everything and never had relief. I'd suggest discussing your thoughts with your current DC. They should be able to give insights on how they feel your progress is going from their perspective. I adjust a lot of people with rib complaints and explain to them how long the process will take and what to expect. As far as x-rays showing rib misalignments, they typically do not.
Great video.
Hey I have been having pain in my chest around the sternum area and left side of ribs for 7 years. Since having my daughter in 2012.
I have been to the hospital and to see drs about it to get it looked into further every time I experience it I feel like I’m having a heart attack the pain so intense .
It hurts so much just my bra is enough to make the pain unbearable as it pushes on my sternum.
What can I say to my dr to push her to do tests and get the diagnosis of whether it’s my rib out of place or inflamed cartilage .
I get it a lot more then I used to I feel like seeing a dr is a waste of time as they don’t do anything about it :(
28years old and always in pain
Sorry to hear about you suffering for so long. I hear that same thing in my practice when patients start care with rib issues. The good news is that the hospital has likely checked to ensure that it’s not a heart issue that you’re having.
I’d suggest finding a doctor near you that focuses on structure. Asking chiropractors near you if they have an emphasis on structural correction and if they know how to adjust ribs would be best.
When a rib is out of alignment it must get back into alignment and correct the structural issue so that the body can heal.
@@DrAlexVidanDC Good advice. Why does this area need regular adjustment? It seems it brings relief for a little while until the ribs pop out of place again?
Maurice B Typically in my office I see that these need 3 to 6 adjustments and the problem is resolved. In a severe case I may see that it needs to be addressed more often. The issue is that it can happen again in three months three years or never again. But with a proper adjustment and stabilization of the joint it should not be a long-term issue.
I am at my wits end with this condition! It has been 9 months. I noticed if I burp it seems to bring it relief. My sternum swells up so bad I think i am having a heart attack but several doctors have ruled that out. Why do I get heart palpitations and it causes my blood pressure to go up? I now have chronic anxiety attacks because it gets triggered by certain foods or if i lift the trash bag it will get trigger. Many more things trigger it but I am so exhausted I can't even focus on my school work. I will take your advice and go see a chiropractor in my area. Thank you!
Very happy to hear that you'll be finding a chiropractor in your area to help you. Be sure that you see someone that has experience in adjusting and caring for rib issues. The good news for you is that you've had several doctors rule out a heart attack. While continued monitoring of your heart and BP is recommended, in situations like this heart palpitations and increased BP may be increased from pain in the area. Especially when it causes anxiety. Then the anxiety perpetuates the pain which then perpetuates the heart palpitations and elevated BP, which then perpetuates more anxiety... it can be a vicious cycle. Glad that you'll be ending the cycle and determining if a rib issue is the cause of all of this for you!
omg I am having the same exact issues it scared me when my BP was super high I notice that it goes down when the pain isn't there but when I have a flare it , it makes it high and I often get dizzy but once I'm on pain meds with icy hot and cold and hot heating pads I'm ok let me know how your situation turned out
did you have to get on BP medicine?
@@womanontherize no I refused because when your body is in pain your bp goes up. I switched up my diet I noticed that my vitamin d levels and iron levels were very low and that is why I wasn't healing properly. I have less flare ups now.
@@womanontherize yes I used to feel dizzy as well but I am telling get a walk in every morning if you can and check those vitamin and minerals levels if you can something about it helped reset my body
I once lifted a car, and then i felt very sharp pain right in the middle of sternum, and it persisted for a minute... Is that enough for rib misalignment from sternum?
Your video gave me insight what's going on...
Very happy to hear that this video helped you gain insight @chanakyasinha
Buddy check bob and brad on youtube. They will help. I was also suffering from costochondritis since i started to workout. They will help you. :)
I can't perform dips in the gym. It hurts terribly when I try to perform even a single dip, It hurts in the chest sternum & even in the spine. 😔
That is so painful & frustrating..!! 😔
Even I afraid to sneeze, I feel a deep pop in my chest sternum every time I sneeze and it hurts so badly..!! 😔
May be the anxiety created by it caused me the erectile dysfunction as well..!! 😔
I can't feel like connected with myself..!! 😔
I have lost all my confidence..!! 😔
@amandeepsingh I'm truly sorry to hear about how much this is effecting your life. It happens more often than we realize. Personally I dealt with having an anterior and posterior rib subluxation multiple times. It effected my workouts, breathing, sleep, and focus. Once I found out what it was then I could take action to correct it.
Here's the good news. Typically when I'm talking to patients in my office that are dealing with the same things that your seeing in your life, they're happy to hear that we've identified the problem and shown how we can correct it.
In your case, if a rib subluxation is what your dealing with then you can get it corrected. That's great news! This means you can get back to living life like you want, decreasing your anxiety caused by it, feeling connected with yourself, and get your confidence back!!
I'd encourage you to find a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) that can evaluate and adjust you. Make sure that the DC that you choose has significant experience in adjusting ribs and can layout a plan to get you back to living the life you want.
@@DrAlexVidanDC Thank u so much Sir for guiding me and giving me light of hope. 😇
Luv u for this. ❤️
May God bless u always.. 👍😇
Nice video doc. Can a person have also burning sensation in both chest areas, ribcages or in the back?
Good question @farriedmohamed Yes, I've seen patients have burning, discomfort, or pain in the chest, ribcage, and back.
@@DrAlexVidanDC burning sensation could be also? Sometimes i have burning sensation in chest ribs and feeling discomfort. But how this disease happens? Because i have it the last 2months so suddenly
Maybe this video will help

Why mine has a bump? Doctor said its not a breast lump. But why mine has like a marble. I feel its not a simple inflamation. I also watched that it goes away but why mine does not?
Since I haven't examined you I can't answer directly what is going on with you. I'm glad to hear about your doctor's findings of it not being a breast lump. I can say that with others I have seen hard, non-mobile, tender to touch bumps present with rib involvement, but I can't say about your particular situation. You may want to follow up with your doctor for more details as to what it is since they've examined you and should be able to provide specific insights as to what is going on.
Great video I’ve been dealing with this a little over 2 years and it’s miserable. I just can’t seem to fix it and I’m only 19 started when I was 17. What should I do
It can certainly be miserable. When I sit down and talk with patients that have been dealing with problems for years, I usually find they’ve tried a few things to help - stretches, ice, heat, NSAIDs, etc. Once I explain what’s really going on, how we’re going to address the issue, and we start care, they’re very happy with the results. The key is finding someone who has experience helping people with the specific issue someone is having, not someone that dabbles in that issue.
Is it better now?
@@agert217 nope i just got use to living with the pain
I have Costo so they say. But I believe it’s something else going on. How would I know if a rib is out of place and even slightly? Can they see it in an X-ray. I have been struggling for about 2 months and my anxiety is through the roof. Any advice would be helpful…thanks for the video.
Welcome and I’m glad that the video was helpful. In my experience The reports we get back from radiologist are typically unable to note slight rib subluxation or misalignment. They can be difficult to spot.
Doc, its been 3 years, got it after a concert after being jammed against a barricade for about 2 hours...been suffering with it ever since.
I'm 21 now, and it hurts like stabbing through chest everytime I sneeze or stretch , it doesn't pain when I breathe tho but it does pain when I do everything else ...its always there and it just gets more powerful when I do things that I do in daily life.
do you really think it'll really go away with all the stretching and everything?
Three years can be a long time to deal with this and get to be frustrating @praneesha.k. I would definitely suggest having it evaluated and getting proper care from a doctor of chiropractic that focuses on this problem. The stretches and everything can help in a lot of cases, but you will want to have someone look at what you’re specifically dealing with to ensure that you get it fully corrected.
Is costochondritis or tietze syndrome caused by the rib cage connecting to the spine get locked up so therefore your chest has to work overtime I am suffering from extreme extreme chest pain and chest swelling as well as it feels like a knife is stabbing me between my shoulder blades my primary doctor said it's costochondritis tietze syndrome the chiropractor they recommended me to shot some gun looking thing some spring-loaded toy into my chest which made it even worse what do I do nothing is working
Hate to hear this for you @davidmonkres. That can be very frustrating and painful. The knife stabbing pain is a common one that I hear from my patients and one that I've personally experienced so I can relate to your pain. If seeing that particular chiropractor didn't work for you or they didn't explain it well enough then you may want to discuss your concerns further with them. This can typically be done over a phone call. I'd at least give them a chance to explain what they're doing to help you and you express your concerns with them. After doing that you may be happy with their response and continue care with them or you may want to find another chiropractor to help you. At least give them a call though to discuss and then go from there.
hi Dr. Alex. I'm having chest pain since March when the pandemic starts I'm all out stressed and worried everyday.. does stress and anxiety can cause costochondritis? the pain worst when I'm anxious i called my doctor she said it's just a stress and take a pain killer when I'm in pain. thanks pls answer
Drew Garcia how long has it been going through cause I’m currently going through the same thing.
For ^
@drewgarcia I see patients with physical/structural instabilities or dysfunctions get exacerbated by stress. Increased stress can lead to increased pain. I'd recommend finding someone near you that can address the structural issue and see what can be done to help you decrease your stress levels.
Hi im from India and im facing costochondritis since 6 months can pleae help me how can i contact you?

@manishgupta hopefully this video gave you some ideas on what you can do. I know that this can be very painful and frustrating because I've dealt with it myself and help patients with it daily. One suggestion would be to consult with a Doctor of Chiropractic that focuses on helping people with these issues.
I’ve had this for over ten years. It never goes away. Only controlled
That can be brutal. A Doctor of Chiropractic with focused experience on this should be able to help you. It may take a team approach to care to get the best results.
I've got pain right in the middle of my chest, possibly from a Hiatal Hernia. But, my Xiphoid Process is killing me and there is a lump right on the Xiphoid.. I touch it lightly and the pain is horrendous.. 3- 4 months it's going on..the ribs don't hurt just the Xiphoid and directly under it. Freaking rediculous.
I often don’t see the xiphoid process being affected from rib subluxations, but it can happen. I definitely suggest patients get checked immediately if there’s a suspected hernia as well as determine if there’s something else going on with the abdomen and organs. Pain in that area is something that I want to check quickly on patients to determine the exact cause and best course of care.
@@DrAlexVidanDC ER. Dr, said it was muscles..My new family Dr. Had his nurse practitioner take X Ray's and blood work, the ER doc already did x rays.. but i had more done anyway.. I do definitely have a Hiatal Hernia. Found on endoscopy. Gastro Dr said hernia could be effecting my vagus nerve. Yet no one wants to do anything to find out why. Just gave me PPI s. And sucralfate, my family Dr. Gave me Cymbalta, Buspirone, and Metoclopramide. Which I haven't taken..thank God because I read ALOT of bad about each .. I'm only taking the Omeprazole. And sucralfate..and lots of Tums..also poop is really light colored for over 2 weeks, gastro Dr said don't worry about it, and ordered a stomach emptying test.. ..IMO I think the hiatal hernia is the cause, or liver , pancreas or gall bladder .. especially with the light colored poop. . But pain and bloating and all going on with no relief for 5 months...can't take it much longer, and I need to get back to work....can't survive like this...and yeah the painful lump on the xiphoid process and pain radiating down from there. There has got to be something that Drs are missing.. . I pray God will heal me as it seems He is the only one to have the power and knowledge to if he chooses.
@elliottnunez God is Good! Agreed that He has the power and knowledge to heal you. At the same time I'm glad to hear that you have been searching for help. God gave you the ability and the opportunity to get the help that you need. Keep searching. Someone out there has the answer. Maybe it's a team of doctors. I often work in a team approach to getting my patients the care they need. Maybe it's going to be a multistep process. Whatever it is. Keep the faith and keep searching. Something has to change and it sounds like you have the determination to press on until you find the answer.
I have had this pain for a year now, and it seems that the more active I get, the more pain I will feel. I have gone to the doctor 3 times within months for updates or other possible causes, but this seems to be the most likely to me, since I feel a sharp pain in my inner chest whenever I move or push weight (even light ones). It never seems to go away and has not really gotten better in the past 6 months. I had it after performing dips and I am afraid I will never be able to workout properly again. My doctor has told me to stay inactive and avoid physical activity, but I am not seeing any results and am not able to even run without feeling pain. Is there anything that I can do elsewhise? I also feel it in my back sometimes, which he also mentioned could happen
also, is it required to make these adjustments or "fixes" to put it in place (if that's the possible solution) in order to actually recover from it at any time? And should I be worried about getting it again, when I am hopefully recovered?
I hear this kind of thing in my practice all the time. Someone has been dealing with the problem for months or years and nothing seems to help. If there is a structural problem such as a rib out of position nothing will correct that other than fixing the structural problem. Specific adjustments from a well trained doctor of chiropractic should be able to fix that for you. Of course you need to find someone that knows what they’re doing with this. If a structure is out of place then the structure itself as well as the surrounding connective tissue can’t heal correctly and allow for proper exercise or movement. There is no amount of rest or inactivity that will get a malposition structure in the right place. Once it’s correctly and specifically return to the correct position then it may come back but at that point you can get it addressed more quickly and fixed faster because you’ll be educated on exactly what it is and exactly how to correct the issue. Having said that it does not mean that it will come back. The vast majority of my patients never have a rib subluxation again.
@@DrAlexVidanDC Hi Dr Alex. I really appreciate your answer wholeheartedly, since nobody ever understood my issue. I had been weight lifting for a year and I was very serious about it. Now I can barely lie in my bed properly. I've been to several doctors already, and they have told me it is cartilage which has been ripped apart; they've told me to rest for a longer period of time. However, it does not seem to improve even after a year as I said, and your explanation makes a lot of sense in this regard. Should I perhaps consider contacting a physiotherapist then? In which case; is there anything I should tell him specifically?
I’m happy to help and understand what you’re going through as a lot of my patients shared a similar experience prior to getting care at my office. You can see a physio and they may be able to help you, but I would recommend finding a specifically trained doctor of chiropractic to help you with your problem since they focus on adjusting those specific areas. Prior to seeing them you can explain your complaints and ask if they have experience in correcting that issue or if they recommend someone else that does.
Hopefully some of the comments here help
I was left with that kind of nasty pain after a quadrupled heart op . Four yearns ago it is dreadfull pain need help
Four years of dealing with that kind of pain would certainly be dreadful for anyone. Sorry to hear that you've been dealing with this for so long. Hopefully this video gives you insight as to an option to get the relief that you need.
What does the pain feel like? I've been experiencing pain in my chest area for over a year on and off, it feels really heavy/tight
Most patients in my office describe it as sharp, stabbing, tight, and may be increased with certain movements, sneezing, or deep breaths.
Dr. Vidan, your video seems to be spot on regarding treatment of Costochondritis. I was recently diagnosed with this problem after suffering a year with rib/chest/back pain that started after a bad fall. I tried many treatments-acupuncture, Graston, deep tissue laser heat, physical therapy and Rolfing. Each modality worked by relieving the pain, however, the effects were only temporary and never long lasting. Was wondering if you know of a Chiropractor near zip code 48236 that I might visit for treatment of my Costochondritis. Thank you!
@rosanneficaro I hear that a lot. Frustrating when you’ve put in so much time, effort, and energy to not truly get the results you’re looking for. Good news is that there are more options to get you relief. Let me see who I know in that zip code that can help you. I’ll be sure to get back to you early next week.
Dr Alex Vidan hello, I inquired a while back if you could direct me to someone in my area (zip code 48236) who is experienced in treating costochondritis. Were you able to find someone? Thanks so much!

I know a few docs there. I’m out of the office now, but will be sure to get you the info for their office.
@@DrAlexVidanDC thank you!!
Hi Doc, hope you are well. I am feeling pain in chest while deep inhale sometimes. Can it be due to muscles? What should i do? Its been 6 months now.
Pain in the chest could be from multiple issues. It’s important to make sure that it’s nothing coming from your heart so I would suggest that you are evaluated by a physician near you. It could certainly be muscles or a rib that’s not positioned optimally causing your pain. Either way I would make sure that you rule out any major issues with someone that focuses on there like an MD and then determine if it’s a structural issue from someone that focuses there like a doctor of chiropractic. Three months is a long time to be dealing with that and you don’t want it to continue to get worse.Hopefully the information in the video helped give you some direction as well.
Hi Dr..... I'm feeling pain in my chest on left side.... Even when or lay down or getting up from sleeping position and while sleeping also I can't able to turn my body.... Plz suggest me what to do..... Dr say everything reports related to heart are normal...... Plz help me out
The good news is that you've been to your medical doctor to determine that it's nothing more serious like your heart. I'm glad to hear that for you. A lot of my patients find relief with specific chiropractic adjustments to the involved ribs. It typically doesn't feel good while it's taking place but they get relief immediately after. Typically they get off the table and note that they can move and sleep much better and it no longer feels painful. You may want to look for a doctor of chiropractic that has experience in caring for people with this and see if they can help you.
I’ve gone to the ER thinking I’m having a heart attack and my anxiety builds high. I think sleeping sideways had mess me up
Hi, Dr. Vidan, appreciate the video; I'm now entering month 5 fighting Costo with no relief in sight (pain is 3/10, but just WON'T GO AWAY). Any chance you have a fellow Chiro you trust 4 hours east of you in Indy? Thanks much!
That can be very frustrating to have it persist like that. I know docs all over. Can you share the name of the town and zip code? Off the top of my head I know docs in Indy and Dayton, but those are likely too far for you. Help me narrow it down and I'll see what I can do for you. Happy to help.
@@DrAlexVidanDC Thanks for the speedy response! I live in Carmel, IN 46032. So far I've seen 2 DC's here; but candidly, it made the problem worse.

I have the same condition. Can the inflammation and pain radiate to your back, especially between your shoulder blades?
You’re not alone there. That can be a common complaint from patients.
I had it radiate from my back to my chest
For my patients that’s typically what they state happens to them as well. Based on how nerves travel from the spine out to the rest of the body that makes sense. Also, considering how the rib head can rotate close to the spine and that angle continues the further away from the body you get, that makes sense there too. I’ll share a link to another video explaining some of that better.
This should helps explain what’s happening:
ruclips.net/video/gLMux3_plfw/видео.html
Have you heard of Steve August and how he treats costo? He's the founder of the backpod and he believes this, " Think of your ribs like bucket handles, hinged at the front onto your breastbone and at the back onto your spine. The ribs lift up and down with every breath you take, and also move as you twist and move around.
Now, if the posterior rib joints (where the ribs hinge onto your spine) are frozen solid and not moving, then the more delicate joints where the ribs hinge onto your breastbone HAVE to work excessively, just to let you breathe. This is unequivocal.
So they 'give', strain, get irritated, then get locally inflamed - and there’s your costochondritis. It is NOT a "mysterious inflammation" arriving out of a clear blue sky only at a few specific rib joints for no reason - of course it isn't." He believes the root cause of costo is a mechanical problem in your back. What are your thoughts on this? It's just strange to me because out of all the medical professionals that I've looked into online the majority of them all say the same, that the main way to treat costo is by lowering inflammation, but that'll only help the pain and not the root of the problem which is the frozen up and locked ribs.
I had mine since March , throwback football, in rain, two weeks later pain came, on right side breast bone I thought it was cancer or heart issue or even COVID, ER doctor did cats scan, not wrong he said muscle pain, than again got worst went to urgent care he said it was costochodris. Take up 8 months to heal, so been doing stretching and reducing hypertension!
@betogarcia I'm glad that you had it checked out and found out that it wasn't a heart issue, cancer, or CV19. It can take quite a while to heal, but if it's truly a costochondritis caused by a rib subluxation (out of position) then you can expedite your healing process. I've had 4 patients with similar histories as yours in the past week. I found the cause of the problem and we're currently correcting it. 2 of them started noticing immediate relief. Just something to consider.
Dr Alex Vidan I think is my ribs to breast bone because ribs feel sore or tendon rubbing
Beto Garcia it could be exactly that. It can be tough to determine but a good Doctor of Chiropractic with experience in this kind of problem can help you.
Dr Alex Vidan , I been stretching and using a basketball on back releases tension and crack loose some back of rib cage , released some pain but sometimes still flares at night
@@betogarcia7855 glad to hear that's providing some relief for you. I always suggest using caution when doing something like that, no one wants to make things worse. I also suggest people find an excellent Doctor of Chiropractic for evaluation and care.
Hello Dr. Alex Vidan, I'm from India ... My Uncle is suffering from Costo Chondritis for more than 2 months and it's still not healing and the pain isn't getting low ... So you said here if the "rib is out" consider a doctor ... In that case if the rib is out , will that be healed by giving medicines or we should undergo Operation ?? Pls reply Sir ..!
Terrible to hear that your uncle has been suffering for more than 2 months. In cases like this I don't recommend an operation for my patients. I recommend they see a doctor of chiropractic that has experience in helping this issue and allowing the body to heal in the proper place. If it's truly a structural issue of a rib out of position causing pain and dysfunction, then no medication will allow that rib to get back into position and function correctly. It will take a structural change by a well trained doctor of chiropractic to evaluate and determine the best course of care for the rib.
@@DrAlexVidanDC Thank you Sir .
What doctor need
I tell family members of patients to find a Doctor of Chiropractic that focuses on this issue and ask if they can help them.
I've had chronic Costochondritis for 13 months and cannot find anyone who can help me 😭
Hate to hear that @ChristinGerold 13 mo is a long time to deal with this. Don't give up. It can be frustrating to find the right doctor, but they're out there to give you the help you need. Make sure that they have experience caring for costo, that they give you a specific plan to get you the results you want, and then you commit to following the plan.
Hello Dr.
i’ve been having costochondritis for a couple of months along with waking up with very tight upper trap muscles. Is it common to have upper trap stiffness with Costochondritis?
Hi Stephanie. I have seen the body spasm and get tight muscles in a lot of compensatory ways to keep you moving and doing your normal activities of daily living. That may be what’s going on in your situation.
@@DrAlexVidanDC Well my medical doctor prescribed muscle relaxers. But I’m trying to figure out the root cause is there a certain technique that physical therapist do to relieve spasming other than regular stretches? Is there something specific I should be asking a physical therapist in my hometown?
Talk to a PT and/or a Doctor of Chiropractic. Ask them if they have specific training and understanding of your issue and ask how often they help people with this issue. The PT should know about certain stretches to do to help your specific issue and location. The Chiropractor should know the exact adjustment needed to move the rib correctly if that’s the problem. The Chiropractor may also know stretches to provide as well.
I found mine to flare up when my thyroid levels are out of whack. I don't have a thyroid anymore, but its an easy sign that my medication dose needs to be changed. I tend to go out of alignment way more easy too if my levels are off.
Makes sense @thedude Stress will effect alignment and how well it holds. Appreciate you bringing this aspect to the conversation.

Hii i am 22 year old u have this pain from past 20 days... Its not so severe pain initially i had it only on left side so i ignored it but from past week there is light pain on right side also..... I went to see my doctor coz i thought that ut had something to do with my heart but he said it has nothing to do with heart and its costochondritis. But the pain is 3/10 and also it doesn't pain when i touch my ribs so is it really costochondritis ? I have priscribed neproxen 250mg twice a day. Is it related to heart? Dull pain mostly near shoulder and side of sternum near collar bone
@aditeekori the good news is that you're having it looked at early and your MD hasn't found anything related to your heart. You'd have to ask your prescribing doctor why he/she specifically prescribed neproxen. It's typically prescribed for inflammation and pain, but be sure to ask your prescribing doctor or the pharmacist. Costochodritis can cause pain to be involved in the shoulder, collar bone, sternum, down the arm, and other areas. I'd suggest consulting with a Doctor of Chiropractic that focuses on helping people with these issues so that they can perform a physical exam and determine a possible course of care for you. If it's warranted I'd also suggest trying some of the ideas I shared in the video.

Hi,I’ve been to the ER several times now,they did all kind of exams to discard heart problems,they couldn’t find anything. I’ve being dealing with breathing shortness,chest pain and pressure that sometimes will go through my back and upper arm,left side,I’ve being taking all kind of anti inflammatories and nothing seems to work,I feel hopeless,like I’ll never feel good again 😔
I understand. When that persistent pain is present, you’re searching for answers and nothing seems to help it can be extremely frustrating. Hopefully you can see from this videos comments that you’re not alone in this. The good news is that they’ve ruled out heart problems. Now you just have to find a solid doctor of chiropractic that has experience in effectively adjusting ribs. It may take time, but don’t give up hope. Rib subluxations can get corrected.
Same boat, may ECGs and x rays nothing with heart. I have Costo over 15 years time to time. Learn about Tietze syndrome

Too bad you're in America, I'm in UK, I've suffered with costochondritis on and off for 3 years now. I've gonna to many doctors and a chiropractor, it's still not gone yet
@temphuibis I hate to hear that you’ve been suffering that long. That can be frustrating. I’d still suggest looking for the right doctor of chiropractic to help you. Structural problems require structural solutions and the right chiropractor should be able to help you get it fixed. Hopefully what I share in the video helps you some.
Have someone stand behind you. cross your arms across your chest- wrist over wrist. The person behind you wraps their arms around you, grabbing their wrist together over your wrists (at your breastbone level). They squeeze and lift you back against their body and it instantly adjusts you.
Instant relief. Its that simple. Its safe. It works, and they wont tell you thi$$$.
@Erth you're talking about simple mobilization. Not the way I'd recommend it, but I can see how some enjoy doing it. I've seen cases in my office where ribs were fractured from doing that mobilization. What I do and recommend in my office and for others is specific adjustments to correct structural issues.
I am having a sharp chest pain which comes on suddenly and increases with movement and deep breath this remains for 10-20 seconds and sometimes 5-10 minutes am not having any problem with physical activities I don't feel pain when I elevate my heart beat with exercises
This pain comes suddenly and goes away and comes back am not able to say if it's costochondritis as the pain isn't constant like I can breathe deep when am writing this comment but once that pain strikes I can't breathe deep
Plz help me sir
I've done my ecg and doctor found nothing with heart
But my heart beat is around 90bpm resting am 18years old
And my haemoglobin level is 17.6
Sorry to hear that @DisasterGaming. I’ve seen that same inability to breathe deep, sudden onset, and increased w certain movements in patients in my office as well. Once I examine and treat them for the rib subluxation it makes a world of difference for them. Glad to hear that your ekg was good. Have to be careful at your age w your resting heart rate.
For most of us, between 60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm) is normal.1 The rate can be affected by factors like stress, anxiety, hormones, medication, and how physically active you are. An athlete or more active person may have a resting heart rate as low as 40 beats per minute.
When it comes to resting heart rate, lower is better. It usually means your heart muscle is in better condition and doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain a steady beat. Studies have found that a higher resting heart rate is linked with lower physical fitness and higher blood pressure and body weight.2 Not always the case though.
You’re going to need to find a Doctor of Chiropractic near you that has a lot of experience examining and caring for rib Subluxations. They can determine the best course of care to get you back to where you need to be.
Truly hope this helps you @DisasterGaming

Huge respect🙏
Thank you @DisasterGaming. Truly happy to have helped you. Lmk if there’s ever any other questions that you have that I can help with.
@@DrAlexVidanDC yes sir I got echocardiogram test also done there's no problem with the heart now my doubt is with pleurisy because whenever the pain strikes it worsens with deep breath and I cannot relive the pain while lying down at all and my bp is also elevated 150/85 and my resting heart rate touched 110bpm the docter has prescribed a beta blocker which has worked now my heart rate is 60 bpm
I'll do a chest x-ray and will see with a pulmonorologist and I don't even think that it's because of my rib as there is no tenderness at all and I took brufen for a week.
Once again tysm as there are so less physicians out there who actually cares for patients health and not of money ❤️
God bless you sir!
@@disastergaming1009 have to get that figured out. Thank YOU and God bless you!
Ice is PAINFUL as EVER. Are you kidding ❓
@lotusdavis with ice causing that level of pain, have you been diagnosed with this specific issue of costochondritis?
Gets worse when sleeping
Does it matter if you sleep on your back, stomach, or side?
I have the pin
It can be very frustrating to deal with. Hopefully you find someone that can help you.
I had this pain since March, by playing catch in rain, man it hurts after 2 weeks incident started to swell like a tumor, could bend down or feel my right arm, when ER nothing wrong with heart at this time, proscribe naproxen, diclonac, ibuprofen nothing work, made it worst! I got sum 1 NORCO pain is gone! For 3 days, than started stretching back, ribs, chest start to crack, slowly started to feel better!
