    Omg I've had crps for 14 years and last year started getting chest pains and have now been diagnosed with costochondritis. Didn't know they were linked. Any information you have would be great!

      Interesting that you posted this.  I have dealt with CRPS and a few months ago was diagnosed with costochrondritis.  I'm afraid that I don't have words of wisdom, but I understand these conditions are caused by how the brain reacts to pain.  It would be wonderful if a cure was found.
