Anyone experiencing a low fever with costo? My doctor said, that it normally shouldn't give you fever, but she didn't exclude it totally. My CRP is 5, which means pretty ok. But I get this fever, it disappears while on Diklofenak, but I don't like Diklofenak, so...

    Tietze  or costo . yes absolutely. I had fever for a couple of months. It's a viral thing whereas costo is more injur based. Also I was very tired, a black curtain would just come down over my eyes and a I would sleep for hours. Print some stuff of Internet for your doctor . It says about fever for costochondritis also.

      Thx, nice to hear that I'm not alone. Have not been able to find info about costo and fever. That's why I started his discussion. Hoping that more ppl join this discussion and share their  stories. Yes ss, the tiredness and the feeling of being unwell is awful.

      Hi, getting pretty worried now. Cannot find any info about costo and fever. Nobody else has answered on this. Maybe my fever is something else. I feel even dizzy and in the background the costo feeling/ache in my rib cage, arms, shoulder blades. Is there any possibility you could give me some more closer info about the costo fever. I know you cannot directly refer to other sites, but any further info would be very much appreciated. Thx in advance.

    I realize this is an old posting but I stumbled upon it and figured if it helped me than my response can help someone else. I have Costochondritis and when I get a flare (most recently after moderate exercise) it is accompanied by a low grade fever (99.3). Its a bit scary because I always think I am having a more serious heart condition even though I have had the Costo for 5 years or so. I have HLA B27 which a gene linked to arthritic conditions and I assume the chest wall pain is a symptom of the ongoing issue. I used to be able to exercise quite intensively but now I realize I have to minimize too many movements that impact the chest area.

    I hope this helps.
