I have been diagnosed by two doctors as having costochondritis. I am having abdomen pain which is more prevalent than the pain under the ribs. It feels like I have been lifting something heavy. It bothers me mostly at night. pain management doctor gave muscle relaxers which did not help much. Called primary and he gave me a pain pill call IBUPROPHEN 800mg and inflammatory called ROBAXIN. I also use Biofreeze gel and roll-on on my chest and lower back. I’m worried about the abdomen problem . does anyone else have this as a main concern?

    yes, the abdominal pain is my main worry as well. Every morning i wake up with a really warm belly and it is extremely painful and i get cramps. After i poop i feel a little better, i think it hurts and spasms more after eating. during the day i get sharp pains that last for seconds and then gone. Also sharp pains in head. my sternum area and upper abdomen just feel bloated all the time, also back aches throughout the day.

    Please tell me more of your symptoms as i am so anxious and have so many symptoms that i do not know are normal or not

      MY abdomen is not a sharp pain it’s like I discomfort all the time and feels a little bloated at times. Mostly at night I have the rib pain and lower back pain. I had surgery in December and 35 stitches that is in the abdomen area and makes me worried . after having a doctor visit with pain management and primary doctor they both agreed that it was costochondritis. The abdomen discomfort is constant and the pain pills do not help. I I am just living with it. And trying To be optimistic!!!
