My 12 year old daughter has costocondritis for a week now following a cold. Pain meds barely work and steroids haven't helped. She has missed a week of school and is still in constant pain and literally cries/whines all day. Looking for answers. Will this ever get better?

    Has anyone had any luck with a certain diet? Do certain foods cause inflammation, I wonder.

      Inflammation is exasperated by all bad rich foods basically. Question is which anti inflammatory foods provides the best nutrition for the body . I hear tumeric is awesome

      And ginger . Maybe curry of course garlic and anything green .

    She needs tramadol or antiflamitory medication. Buy a plug in heating pad. Tell her to put it directly on her stomach and lay on the floor.
