Hello,
Costochondritis is probably not associated with thyroid disorder. Costochondritis is inflammation of cartilage and not associated with any thyroid disorder. I suggest you to consult an orthopedist for clinical assessment, relevant investigations and thus management.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
