suffer with chest wall pain. Ot inflammation of the cartlige. Off to the drs this afternoon. Ive try iburphen tabs and rub, cooling gel heat cream none of that seems to work. Also the pain is moving about. Its start in my right breast area then it moved to above my right breast now its in the center of my chest just below collar bone. Im suffering great anxiety over this im at my wits end.

Hope the GP was able to help. I have unfortunately​ have had this fur years. All over tenderness across the rib cage area but the intense psi. Like yours tends to change area. It is the sort of own that can really get you down, some days even wearing a vest seems to make it more painful. I actually found that using a cooling gel helps me rather than. warmth.x

My friend who had always been fit honestly thought she had heart trouble when she was struck down with costo. We spent 6 hours at the hospital having her checked out as her GP was concerned. When the doctor at the hospital said "it was ONLY costo" I could cheerfully hit him. Blatently obvious he had never had it.x

I started buying the cooling gel in a large pot over the internet as I found those little tubes from the chemist although good to carry in handbag very expensive for ladeling it on it the quantities needed.

Yes when you have it the pain can get extreme and you understandably start to tense up which as you have found out starts to affect all the connecting muscles. Unfortunately as you have found out they are a bit limited with cures. I have found very gentle stretching exercises and i mean gentle can sometimes ease some of the tight muscles. Good luck.x
