chondritis get well with course of medicines
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for an elucidate history, nicely put and self-explanatory.
It is almost 32 years you are having a typical problem. The attack when you were 19 says it all.
You have got a condition called costo-chondritis of the lower ribs on both sides. This is the area from where the abdominal muscles originate. Hence you got the typical sore muscles. The edema produced by costo-chondrits may track down along the muscles.
As far your second problem- this time the attack lasted for 2 weeks. The most probable reason is you have have associated problem of
constipation and gastro upset thereby. This time the edema in the affected area did not get relief faster as before. So the symptoms. I would advise such a patient to take laxative as constipation itself makes any problem to cause more suffering;
depression, feeling a bit scary and sick all add to the problem.
IN addition to laxative take
Ranitidine, soft bland diet, plenty of oral fluids , try to get sound sleep for early recovery.
I would suggest you a treatment for your costo-chondritis; but you have to consult your Doctor, discuss with him and then follow as per his prescription as these may be prescription drugs in your area.
I give my patients:
Ranitidine
Deflazacort - a mild newer steroid with minimum side effects- to be taken in a gradually reducing doses.
Serratiopeptidase or Ibuprofen or
Diclofenac whatever suits you the most.
take this for 1 to 3 weeks. You may not have further attacks. And if at all you get one, start this mixture immediately to get a prompt relief.
I repeat: please consult your Doctor for a prescription.
It is good that you have no other Medical issues.
I hope this helps you the maximum. In fact going to help you.
Please feel free to ask for more if you have any further queries.
