Hi all, I have had this dull aching pain around the sternum area for a few months now, also urticaria/eczema rash same area, been to see GP he seems to think it's just deep urticaria type thing but said you don't get pain with urticaria, so GP not much help, anyway after researching costochondritis and Tietze syndrome I'm convinced I probably have Tietze syndrome, cartilage inflamed swollen second and third ribs it all seems to fit, I had some some sort of chest infection/cough early in the year so maybe that was the cause?, any one knowledgeable on this matter?. thanks. 0
