Extractions: Costochondritis Advertising Costochondritis (COS-to-kon-DRY-tis) is an irritation and swelling of the joints that connect the ribs to the breastbone. It is most common in young adults. It may take 3 to 6 weeks to disappear. Often, no cause can be found. The problem is marked by chest tightness and sharp pain that worsens when you move or breathe deeply. The pain may spread to the arm and may occur in more than one place. No special care is needed. Avoid exhausting physical activity and try not to bump your ribs as you move around. Applying heat to the injury may help relieve pain. Use a warm heating pad, whirlpool bath, or warm, moist towels for 10 to 20 minutes every hour for 48 hours. Nonprescription medications such as aspirin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen may ease the pain.

Extractions: About Us Join The PBCers Index Site Map Costochondritis and PBC Costochondritis is one of many disorders associated with autoimmune diseases. Normally this disorder will go away on its own. When associated with an autoimmune diseases such as PBC, it may linger for years or a lifetime. Costochondritis is an inflammation of the cartilage that attaches the ribs to the breastbone (costo = rib, chond = cartilage, itis = inflammation). Costochondritis causes mild to severe pain in the lower rib area or upper breastbone. Some patients fear they are having a heart attack. The most severe pain is usually in the lower rib area between the breast and upper abdomen. The pain may be more noticeable in sitting or reclining positions, and stress is known to aggravate this condition. Costochondritis may also be caused by trauma, such as bumping the rib cage; as a result of a viral infection; or as part of an inflammatory disease process. Usually the cause is unknown. Once the diagnosis of costochondritis is made, it usually responds well to a course of a pain-killing, anti-inflammatory medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or any of a number of prescription medications. If this condition doesn't respond to simple treatment measures, the patient should undergo more tests. When costochondritis is associated with liver disease, it is more difficult to treat.

Extractions: Costochondritis Costochondritis, also known as Tietze Syndrome, is the inflammation of the cartilage where the ribs attach to the breast bone. Initially the symptoms are like those of a heart attack with pain moving from side to side of the chest and to the arms and neck. In fact many sufferers rush to the emergency room fearing an attack. In the beginning the pain is usually worse and it hurts to breathe, wear a bra or move suddenly. Eventually the pain subsides to a dull, constant ache or tenderness in the ribs. The cause of this condition is usually unknown but it can be the result of trauma to the rib cage, a viral infection or part of an inflammatory disease. The symptoms usually disappear spontaneously within eight weeks but sometimes it takes up to a year and in some individuals it remains a chronic condition. When it is a chronic condition the pain seems to wax and wane and any sudden movement or lifting of heavy objects could make the condition worse. Some sufferers start thinking that there is something wrong with their lungs when they start finding difficulty in breathing. However there is no reason for alarm. This happens because due to the swelling around the ribs, the lungs cannot expand fully. Stress contributes to the pain because it makes the muscles tense. Other things which hurt are lifting, pushing, pulling, sneezing, coughing, long hours of driving or using the computer, repetitive motions and caffeine. Cold, rainy and humid weather also make a lot of sufferers feel worse. Ideally these situations should be avoided but where it is not possible it is important that they be carried out with care.

Extractions: Costochondritis Costochondritis is an inflammation of the ribs, usually where they attach to the breastbone or sternum. A person with costochondritis may have pain in the front of the rib cage that is dull and aching. Sometimes there is redness and swelling of the skin around the sternum. The pain gets worse if pressure is put on the sore ribs. It is very important to have all pain in and around the chest evaluated by your healthcare provider. Costochondritis is not life-threatening, but a heart attack is. Sometimes an injury to the chest wall will cause costochondritis. However, many times it is not known why the pain occurs. TREATMENT FOR COSTOCHONDRITIS INCLUDES: MEDICATION CAUTIONS: Do NOT give aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) or aspirin-containing products to anyone age 18 years or younger because of the risk of a serious illness called Reyes syndrome. Acetaminophen should not be taken by anyone with known liver or kidney disease. Do not drink alcohol when taking more than 1 dose of acetaminophen.

It's great that you started learning about bracing because it sounds like it's true for you. Did you read the article on Skilled Relaxation to learn how you can dissolve bracing? I'm concerned that you saw a chiropractor but never went for massage. It might help you a lot as long as you also do Skilled Relaxation. Also consider doing a daily stretching program to help loosen up tight areas in your body. I don't think the root canal has anything to do with it (I used to be a dentist's assistant) but definitely the results of an accident can be stored in the body for decades or forever. It sounds like you never fully recovered from it and kept adding new problems on top of it. You will also learn a lot about how to help yourself by reading the costochondritis archives.

Extractions: Back to table of contents The patient's age is usually in the mid-teens through the thirties, and he complains of a day or more of steady aching with intermittant stabbing chest pain, perhaps following a period of frequent coughing or unusual physical stress, localized to the left or right of the sternum, without radiation, but worse with taking a breath, changing position or moving the arm overhead. He may be concerned about the possibility of a heart attack (though he may not voice his fear) but there is no associated nausea, vomiting, diaphoresis, or dyspnea. The mid anterior costal cartilages (connecting ribs to sternum) are diffusely tender to palpation, without swelling or erythema, exactly matching the patient's complaint. The rest of the physical examination is normal, along with normal vital signs and pulse oximetry. Perform a thorough history and physical examination. Give special attention to the character of the pain (onset, severity, quality, radiation, duration, relationship to movement), associated symptoms (shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, diaphoresis, cough), and past history of pre-existing cardiac risk factors (family history of coronary artery disease, smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, elevated cholesterol, cocaine use, age >33 for men and >40 for women). Read the nurse's note for critical details the patient has not repeated to you. Look for pleural or pericardial rubs and arrythmias and obtain a cardiogram and chest x ray when there is any suspicion of a cardiac or pulmonary disorder. The presence of costochondritis does not exclude the possibility of myocardial infarction, pericarditis, pulmonary embolus pneumothorax, pneumonia, or pleural effusion.
