I fractured 2 ribs in 2011 and thought it normal to heal within 6 weeks. I still have this pain coming and going, very anoying and worrying. I did some research and found that it could be inflammation of the cartilage that joins your ribs. Could that be it?

    It could be.......but you should get it checked out? Ribs can cause discomfort even years after being broken.

      I agree negativity is no good. It is what it is. Stay relaxed. Eat anti inflammatories, loads of nice foods are, take anti-inflammatories, go with it. C'est la vie 😊💖

    Yes...that is exactly what it is. I get it and it comes and goes. When I get flare-ups, I use a moist heating pad and take Ibuprofin every 6-8 hours. Also, I think if you have anyone in your family with a form of Arthritis, you are prone to it. My Mother had Reumatoid Arthritis and my sister has a form of Muscle Arthritis. It is very painful for her and it never goes away. I also suffered from Fibromyalgia for 18 years as well. No longer have it. My prayer was answered to be healed.

    I'm no doctor. But I have brused my ribs black and blue. This could be the case of it. Does it hurt when you poke certain spots on the cartilage? Of so. Is inflamed. I Aleve OTC or advil. These have antiflamatory propertiesand should lessen the pain. Been doing this since 2012...still have it. If you have anxiety...this will cause Costa chondritis as well.

    Hi Antoinette,

    Yes. It could be Costro. Sometimes it comes with an injury, and in my case, not at all. Have you had cat scans, MRI of the area?
