    I find that total relaxation helps. When I have an “episode” I try to turn everything off. My doctor prescribed Xanax and it helps immensely ... sometimes I get mad at myself for “laying around” instead of being active, but in a long run I feel better just de-stressing

    I heard of many . someone said vics rub. I did hot and cold rub. These are found anywhere .I found when anywhere it comes on for me is to take my hands and rub them together warm them up and take one hand and do a cicular motion around there and sometimes not even really touching it. But enough to get that warm healing evect.

    Hello guys,let me tell you my story and a beautiful advice to whom suffers costohondritis.

    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.

    3.thats it guys! Lol,i did this exercise yesterday about 10 times during the day and today i am going to survive with out advil,this magic exercise works!

    Dont thank me guys!

    Ps.please guys help me to spread this information to the world and help people with this disease.
