Costochondritis

Hi. I injured my chest about a year ago when I first got diagnosed with asthma and other lung issues. I wonder if anyone else has a low peak flow due to chest inflammation here. The doctors here were never able to really get why I have such abnormal pulmonary function for my age. Thanks!

Yes that’s what I’m thinking! Problem is it comes and goes but my breathing is consistent so I’m not sure if that’s what it is. I’ve had specialist guess it’s my scoliosis and a orthopedic surgeon say it’s not. So it’s all a guessing game.
