Costochondritis is an inflammation of the cartilage that attaches the inner end of the upper ribs to the flat bone in the middle of the chest (known as the sternum). Cartilage is a type of tissue that helps form many important body structures. For example, the ears are mostly made of cartilage. WHAT ARE COMMON SYMPTOMS OF COSTOCHONDRITIS? The symptoms of costochondritis usually begin slowly over time. The initial symptom of costochondritis can feel like a heart attack, causing may sufferers to go to the emergency room. In fact, about 30% of people that go to the hospital with chest pain have costochondritis. Sharp chest pain, irritation, and chest tightness usually occurs in costochondritis. The chest pain may radiate outwards from one side of the chest to the other and to the arms and neck. It can also radiate to the back and stomach. The pain is more common on the left side of the body. It is possible to feel pain in more than one body part at the same time in costochondritis. In the beginning of costochondritis, the pain is usually worse. Eventually, the chest pain usually becomes a dull, constant ache. A sharp pain is often felt in the ribs, which are often sensitive when touched. The pain is usually anywhere from the 4th through the 6th ribs, but can occur in any of the first 7 ribs. In over 90% of the cases more than one rib is affected. For reference, the 1st rib is underneath collar

Ask the Doctor Q: Costochondritis I was recently diagnosed with costochondritis. What is it exactly and how should I treat it? My doctor has said that I can continue with vigorous exercise as normal - is this really sensible with a fractured sternum? Rebecca Dr Trisha Macnair responds The prefix costo- simply means something which is to do with the ribs, the prefix chondr- means related to the cartilage and -itis means inflammation. So if you put all these together you get costochondritis which means inflammation of the cartilage of the ribs. In particular costochondritis affects the cartilage which joins the ribs to the breastbone. Mechanical problems or trauma usually cause it There are a variety of possible causes. Most common is trauma such as damage to the sternum. You mention a fractured sternum so I guess that in your case whatever broke your sternum also lead to inflammation in the tissues which surround it. Other causes include: Mechanical pressure or stress on the sternum Viral infections which cause inflammation of cartilage Symptoms may be mistaken for heart disease Costochondritis causes tenderness over the breastplate and pain if you put pressure on the ribs in this area. The pain is made worse by anything which moves the ribs and pulls on the cartilage which connects them to the sternum.
