    Hi Kelly when I am suffering with the pains I try to relax in a hot bath then after that I have a hot water bottle and place it against my ribs / chest , I also take some anti - inflammatorys and pain killers that seams to work for me to get some relief .xx

    Hi Kellyxcookie

    i was diagnosed with Costacondritis in October of 2015. My doctor prescribed me Naproxen twice a day and I also take a low dose zanaflex which is a muscle relaxer for when I need help sleeping. Sometimes mid day ill take one Tylenol when im just aching so much. Nothing takes the pain away for me but these meds keep it managable for the most part. It defiantly changes your lifestyle. Never heard of this condition till i was diagnosed with it. Best of luck to you
