Costochondritis

I was diagnosed with that when I was in my teens but it went away. I have a friend that was diagnosed with it not too long ago and she started incorporating turmeric in her diet and it came a long way for her

Thank you. I'm Indian and turmeric is actually regularly used spice in our house. It has tons of benefits. This is just so painful and I'm having difficulty sleeping because I can't lay down. And of course the kids are jumping and climbing all of me. I was exercising regularly and then fell off a month ago but now I can barely do the day-to-day activities. I just don't understand how this occurred out of nowhere.

I had it in my early 20’s I was under a lot of stress, I was prescribed muscle relaxers and it went away. Try some nsaids- like alive or Motrin to help with the inflammation and pain

I was diagnosed with that in my teens, due to sports. I played fast pitch softball, volleyball and basketball. It’s hurts like hell. I have to take ibuprofen, use a heating pad and really try to take it easy till it passes.

I've had costo since I was a child. My orthopedic doctor told me it's often connected to a vitamin d deficiency. They tested my blood and it was for sure low. I was given a loading dose and now stay on a daily supplement. It's helped cut down the number of flare-ups I have, but not the intensity. I was also prescribed lidocaine patches, but haven't tried those yet. I usually just take an NSAID if it lasts for a long time.

Thank you all for the advice. I will start taking Vitamin D immediately.
NSAIDS have not helped so far. I feel like it's just going to continue to occur because I can't fully rest with 2 little ones. Thank you all again.
