Diagnosed With Costochrondritis. Have Multiple Ribs Protruding. Pain Serious. Suggestion?
My name is Melody I have been diagnosed with Costochrondritis. I have muliple ribs in my rib breast protruding. My Pcp doesnt seem to take my pain seriously. I have pain in the front breast threw to the back shoulder blade, Pain radiates to the neck and arm . I currently take 600 mg of ibuprofin which does not help my pain. I also have a one year old I care for which keeps me in motion quite a lot. Any suggestions for talking to my Doctor?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Costochondritis is a chronic immune related disorder which shows mild long term improvement. Symptomatic treatment with pain killers, hot fomentation and muscle relaxants can help in improving the symptoms temporarily.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
