Question: I've had Costochondritis for a little under a year and some days are better than others but for the past few days my left chest has been swollen again and today it's itchy. Can Costochondritis cause itchiness and, if yes, does that mean it's healing?

I contacted support as my question didn't post correctly.

I am not taking any other medications and I have not redness or discoloration or any other cold symptoms or fever. I have no other pain.

Here is my whole question that wasn't posted:

I've had Costochondritis on my left chest for a little under a year and some days are better than others but for the past few days my left chest is swollen again and today it's itchy and I've got a little tenderness in the middle of my chest as well. I have move some things that have some weight but nothing too heavy. Can Costochondritis cause itchiness and, if yes, does that mean it's healing? Should I still have Costochondritis after all this time even after taking it easy? If I remember right my Costochondritis started June/July 2014. What should I do to continue to help my Costochondritis heal? I try not to use my left side much and I don't lift anything heavy and I still get flare ups.

I take 800mg Ibuprofen as needed and it helps most of the time but not always. I also rub Blue-Emu cream on my chest when it's sore. I have used heating pad and ice packs in the past but haven't recently.
