Good Day
For Tietze syndrome the prescribed treatment is NSAIDs like Diclofenac, Ibuprofen. If it does not help, you may try for Steroid injections in that area which will give relief. Local Lidocaine patch may also help. Kindly consult with your Physician regarding this for correct medicines since you are on drugs for Parkinsonism.
