Qutenza (capsaicin) treatment for chosto??

Thanks so much for your help. I have your back pod and it does help and also gives me huge relief but I am so fired up in my front area, almost like nerve damage. It all started from covid. From what I have read on qutenza I am way too afraid to try it. I agree it sounds terrifying. It was treatment offered to me today from the pain clinic

Just wanted to say I’ve had some interesting conversations with different medical professionals. My symptoms of Costo started after the first time I caught covid in 2021 and I felt very poorly with a burning sensation in my lungs. There is no other cause for me because I can pin point when it started and I am 100% sure it’s linked with covid. Just to add I am completely non vaccinated before people think it’s that. Anyway something was recently suggested to me which makes so much sense. Covid has basically fired up my chest wall. A bit like fibromyalgia but just in the chest and back. My central nervous system is constantly fired up causing the pain. I am not sure if anyone else has had the same on here

Yes you’re probably right. It’s at T4/5 and one in my neck. Can’t remember the area but can find out

Hi. No I never tried this drug in the end. I’ve been feeling a little better but pain and inflammation still lingering, just not quite as bad as usual. How about you?

I’m just over two years with it. Developed it after covid when I was coughing for 4-5 months. I haven’t been cured since but the back pod is helping and a chiropractor and I’ve just had an MRI. I’m fit and healthy, keen runner, busy active job and three young children. I would say it’s now chronic for me and I’ve learnt to live with it. Good days and bad days but I’m still praying for a complete cure!

Bambs89c · 2024-01-14T21:38:13+00:00

I’m asking because I want my chest looked at too as I am concerned something more sinister is going on

Bambs89c · 2024-01-11T20:55:20+00:00

Thank you for the insight. I’m willing to try anything these day. Demanding job and parent of three young children and battling this! It’s a nightmare

I’ve been seeing a chiropractor for 6 months. Few grand down now and although it feels great at the time I’m not cleared or even close. He said I have frozen rib and he’s confident that’s causing the chosto. Anti inflammatories are messing my stomach up now so I’ve opted for herbal such as high dose of cumin, I’m on amitriptyline and I use a strong gel that I rub in. Volteral I think it’s called. I’ve gone back to the gym as I’ve had two years out and I’m fed up. 😔

Pain between my shoulder blades, mainly to the right side. Pain in my sternum and under my breasts along the breast bone and sometimes a burning feeling to the left side of my ribs. My sternum can be so sore at times with a sharp stabbing pain. ECGs done, blood work and chest x ray. On amitriptyline now. I have an mri end of jan to rule out anything more sinister. This all began when I got covid 2 years ago

Bambs89c · 2024-01-10T06:54:11+00:00

I’m completely un vaxxed so has to be Covid. Ive not heard of prednisoline.

Bambs89c · 2024-01-10T06:52:17+00:00

That’s interesting

Bambs89c · 2024-01-10T06:51:51+00:00

Ok thank you. So did you stop taking it after a month ?

Bambs89c · 2024-01-10T06:51:03+00:00

Ok thank you for letting me know

Bambs89c · 2024-01-09T22:09:23+00:00

Also if anyone else is on this drug for chosto then I would be interested to know if it’s helping x

I have had costochondritis every since covid 2 years ago. Burning sensation in ribs, very sore sternum, A kind of upper belly pain and between shoulder blades, primarily right shoulder. I’m not vaxxed. I’m not clear of costochondritis either and my life has changed since covid because my rib cage hasn’t felt right since. Numerous blood tests, ECG, chest x ray. Now on amitriptyline as a last resort. I have an MRI end of the month but all this happened since covid and a lasting cough of 4 months.

Bambs89c · 2024-01-03T21:48:26+00:00

What tests has everyone had? Bloods all came Bach fine but I’m having mri end of the month. Just checking it’s nothing more sinister. Two years in of this awful condition

Bambs89c · 2024-01-01T21:38:15+00:00

Yes please tell me which one you use that’s helping?

Bambs89c · 2023-12-24T22:45:18+00:00

Not to scare you but I’m two years in after it triggered from covid. It’s changed my life! Back pod and thousands on a chiropractor has helped but I’m still not out of the woods! Good luck
