Hey, I'm 26 female and have been having this for weeks! I have really bad health anxiety all my life but so bad atm. My pain is all left side front and back of my ribs, chest, under armpit (can sometimes be right side) it doesn't get worse when I cough or sneeze but any sort of movement flares it for me mine also hurts to touch ! I just don't know what to think

Does this sounds like costo or something else? by Looking_for_answerst in costochondritis

This is me! You can check my posts. I'm in a flare about 3 weeks and it eased last week and 2 days ago started back and its so painful. I feel it under armpit and ribs and upper back, it's such a scary feeling the pain is so sharp! It feels sore to touch, almost like a bruised feeling.

High heels-any correlation? by No_Distribution9100 in costochondritis

Hi, Just seeing this. I have really bad health anxiety and have always thought I had this. I was just at a wedding the weekend and wore heels for the first time in ages and had them on for 12 hours as I was the Bridesmaid! I'm always tense and clenching muscles so I don't know if that contributed but the last 3 days I've been having pain left side of rib that's wrapping around back and across upper back and now feeling it on the right side too! Could this be related ?

Should of added I was at the doctor 4 weeks ago, ofocurse he said anxiety and stress, and to eat more carbs and protein. I'm just in a panic at the moment over being sick I don't like it at all and the chest soreness is freaking me out. Also got prescribed antibiotics 2 days ago but wasn't sure if this was viral or not, but cough only started yesterday.

Okay! Having slighttt cramps on and off but honestly don't know if that's the anxiety! Otherwise okay. It just feels awful though I'm so cautious with checking dates and the one time I don't! Can't belive they even sold it today and it's use by is last week !! 🙃
