What Can I Do To Relieve The Pain When Diagnosed With Costochondritis, Ablation And Atrial Fibrillation?
I had costrochondritis a year ago that lasted for four months.. It eventually went away.. Last week I had a catheter ablation to treat atrial fibrillation. I now have costrochondritis again.. Did the ablation cause it? What can I do to relieve the pain?

Hello,
The costochondritis could be reactivated by the trauma caused by the ablation. Anyway, it is important to start therapy with Ibuprofen or Naproxen as soon as possible , in order to treat inflammation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
