Costochondritis

[mellycoop]

My daughter aged 17 has just been diagnosed with costochondritis. She has been given codien as has allergy to ibuprofen and I am wondering if there is anything else that can help with her pain and fatigue which is really getting her down 😢. However I am wondering if this is more fybro that she has as she has also been suffering from pain in knee and lower back for 18 months.

Hi I have costocondritis as well it takes time to settle down. But yes it will flare up from time to time. Just not as bad. What I do for it is use warm compress and cold if she can handle it. The warm feels relaxing. Plus I went to the health store and bought an herb called. BFAND Cthe full name is Bones Flesh and Carta lie. For me it healed me and helped with the inflation from it. Yes it can be very painful. Almost like she's having a heart attack. She will heal but it takes time and she has to be careful with it for a while till it heals.

Hope this helps. From a friend Country Gal

I am always wandering if my pain is fibro or lupus. I also get constant rib pain

All my joints hurt and it feels like someone is squeezing my neck and pressing down I my shoulders .. I have to get to a rheumotigist asap.. Now I have a broken rib on top of normal pain.

I will try that supplement Country girl.thanks for suggestion.

Melly.sometimes B12 complex helps give me some energy maybe it'll work for your daughter. I'm 43 years old and feel like I'm 90 when I wake up.

I just v started a new symptom the palms of my hands and soles of my feet have been aching... I feel no one understands ...I'm glad I found this board
