Hi - only a doctor can confirm if you have costochondritis which i'm sure you already know. They seem to rule out other issues to determine if you have it. I was diagnosed with costochondritis after a really bad cold (coughing) which I think triggered costochondritis for the first time in my life. I tried ibuprofen (anti-inflammatory) which seemed to provide temporary relief but have basically had costo for a year until I came across a physiologist from New Zealand.
I went ahead and used the exercise techniques and purchased the 'backed' figuring i had a 50/50 change of improvement. The exercises he recommends actually helped (within days) and in conjunction with the backpod product, my costo discomfort is 99% gone. I was thinking it was a gimmicky product and technique and was surprised when it actually worked. The best of all I no longer require ibuprofen. I don't know if his approach works for everyone or some. Good luck with whatever you do but wanted to pass along this information in the hopes it can help someone. Costo was really annoying to live with so best wishes. - Mike

Hi dame79890,
They won’t let me post the link here (forum rules) but you can find the video on you tube by searching “backpod.” There are several search results but choose this one ‘How To Fix (most) Costochondritis and Tietze's Syndrome Part (2)’ I would be curious if it helps your Costo. Best wishes! -mike

I have been diagnosed with Costo 3 weeks ago from now,i had a super strong chest pain right in the middle of the chest that i literally can not walk for a 5 minutes,so i went to Er,they said it is Costo and prescribed me to take Advil.
So its been 19 days already i have been taken Advil daily,2 pils in the morning and 2 pils at night and it really helped me to survive without the pain.
Every single day i have been reading forums like that all over the world just to understand ho to deal with Costo because our doctors dont know s*%$t,and i found a lady,on russian forum,who gave anadvice( exercise) to someone how to treat Costo at home and guess what guys-it really works! I woke up this morning with out pain!!!!!
1.take a deep breath trough your nose and hold it and count 10 seconds.
2.then slowly ,very slowly let the air out through the mouth.
