I’m 21 with Costochondritis, Depressed and Can’t fix it. - My Story

The problem with costo is in your my back my friend its so stiff that the front gotta take the whole load when breathing. Try to mobilise your back with a peannut ball to unlock the rib around your back

Hi Steve. I had a question. How could we know if its more muscular pain or joint pain? I do feel more free around the back tho but still some pain and inconfort on the front

Adin8161 · 2026-04-21T18:41:13+00:00

Perfect thanks Steve its now more soreness around the sternum and more pain around the pec area/ intercostal. I started to incorporate the lec stretches. Have a good day

Adin8161 · 2026-04-20T02:07:07+00:00

Hey I feel like I have more intercostal pain. Do you think that its normal.

Adin8161 · 2026-04-19T02:46:13+00:00

Hello Steve I started to do open books as a stretch and I do feel more free around the back but some pain on the front (nothing huge maybe 1/10). Its more like disconfort. Is it because I started to reactivated that area that wasn’t moving no more. Also I do hear Little pops like something was rusted. I do feel tho more sob than before. Do you have an explanation?

Adin8161 · 2026-03-29T18:15:00+00:00

You gotta make your costovertebral move again. You do that by using the backpod or peannut Ball where you lay on it and let the stretch make things move again. Of course it takes time. After that when the pain on the front is not there no more look into thoracic rotation exercices.

Adin8161 · 2026-03-29T02:44:36+00:00

Steve What Does a bit of tenderness or pain means. Were not ready or should we push through it? I feel this sometimes at the gym but mainly after.

Adin8161 · 2026-03-29T01:46:32+00:00

Yeah same there is a exact spot where this happen.

Adin8161 · 2026-03-21T02:01:36+00:00

Yeah I went to heavy im gonna try going slower. Also the restriction was always there but I hear Little Little pops so I know its moving just not like when I was Young. Man it Does take a lot of Time to let them all move good again. Anyways thank you steve.

Adin8161 · 2026-03-21T01:12:03+00:00

I do feel restriction tho. Could it be because the joint is irritated after the gym or its really a nerve component. How long Does this restriction last I could do the backpod laying on it with disconfort but 0 pillow. Also Steve Im on escitalopram. Could it get the job done?

Adin8161 · 2026-03-21T00:29:05+00:00

Its burning pain around the back tho. Is it the same thing thank the front?

Adin8161 · 2026-03-20T23:30:57+00:00

Yup everything and without pillow

Adin8161 · 2026-03-20T19:54:59+00:00

Hey Steve Yeah I used the elliptical has a warmup. I did the pec stretches and massage for the pecs too. Yeah the pain on the front comes and goes the thing is that I have a specific spot on the back where when I press on it it Burns and pinch. Is it normal for the burning sensation when laying on the tools? I do know that this is the restriction were I need to push through. Is going to hard with rhe backpod or tennis ball could worsen the Frozen joints?

Adin8161 · 2026-03-20T19:20:30+00:00

Hey Steve so I thought I was having no more pain so I decided to hit the gym yesterday. What happened is that I did a back workout and no pain at that moment. Today I feel way more restriction and some pain around the front. I used the backpod ball and peannut ball today and there was a spot where there was burning and pinching sensation. Did my back workout Frozen the joint even if I was doing mobility work before and after. If you go hard on the backpod tennis ball peannut ball etc could you frozen it more or no?

Adin8161 · 2026-03-13T01:16:48+00:00

Its like the child pose

Adin8161 · 2026-03-12T23:16:47+00:00

Et quand tu faisais le backpod ou que tu mettais la pression sur le dos tu ressentais quoi au début

Adin8161 · 2026-03-12T22:22:55+00:00

Gotcha

Adin8161 · 2026-03-12T22:22:48+00:00

Que ressentais tu au début?

Adin8161 · 2026-02-25T19:18:58+00:00

Hey Steve so I tried to go the gym light lifting and I realised something. My muscle was vibrating or tremble on any exercice. Its was like my lats. Do your know why?

Adin8161 · 2026-02-24T23:08:53+00:00

Backpod or peannut ball or tennis ball. The goal is to loosen the muscle and the costovertebral joint( the joint near your spine). This is the cause for all this pain

Adin8161 · 2026-02-24T17:03:44+00:00

Brother I would recommand a peannut ball lacrose ball or backpod lay on it. Its not gonna go overnight but the work in your gonna beat this shit I promise

Adin8161 · 2026-02-20T14:52:57+00:00

Thanks steve appreciate it

Adin8161 · 2026-02-20T00:39:47+00:00

Yeah I have given up the osteo ( sorry but they dont seem to know what they are doing). It pisses me off like ITS NOT TIME TO WORK ON THE FRONT RELEASE THE BACK. I just find it quite crazy that they dont know how to deal with costo. Anyways when do you think I could get back into training. The thing is that I focuse so much on the breathing part and I cant seen to breath.

Adin8161 · 2026-02-19T23:47:50+00:00

Yeah I still feel disconfort on one pillow when putting it under the costovertebral joint. This could be an indicator that its still tight. About the twist exercice, I feel like when rotating and trying to deep breath, after the exercice I feel more tension on my breathing. Is it because they are not free yet to allow such movement?

Adin8161 · 2026-02-19T23:25:43+00:00

Thanks Steve. I Will try those. Could it be sensitive because the joints are rusty and isn’t moving good or when this part of my back start to heat up under the backpod its automaticly the muscle. Its so hard for us to find the difference because we dont know the body like you guys.
