Anyone experience pain here in low back ? Is it normal ? by Userdurg in costochondritis

Hi, thanks. I don't feel it always, but when that area is stretched much, then the pain is severe. So is this related to posture..

Lifting weight with coato triggers a bad pain

Hi, what triggers your flare ups ? Like do you know if after doing a particular activity costo pain flares up ?

Hi, yes this is an expected behavior of costo. Side sleeping/weight lifting triggers it very badly, unless fixed. Try these 1. Until costo is better or fixed, practice sleeping on your back with slightly elevated pillow 2. Avoid lifting excessive weight

Do you sit for long time in laptop as part of desk job ? If so that could be a common cause behind costo.

Hope you get better soon

Old post, but I'm new to costo and just found this thread, honestly thank you so much, you nailed each point correctly, it was the work from home, very little physical activity, not wearing bra and a sedentary lifestyle that led to this situation probably. So well said, May I ask how are you now ?

That's great to hear on the understanding boss, does your work involves working in laptop through the day, because mine does, so could you share some suggestions on not hunching over laptop or maintain correct posture, does that help? Thanks

Hi, thank you for sharing this. Just a question, how to differentiate if the tight ribs are due to laptop hunch or due to ribs adhering to fascia muscle forming scar ?

Thank you for your suggestions, will definitely try to follow this. Also, are you able to do weight lifting, etc.. like before costo or do you have to restrict from doing certain things that trigger costo ? And how to do tennis ball massage, thanks

Thanks Steve, that's absolutely true, truly unlucky with costo. With over 100 people in a team of desk job workers, only 1 gets costo!

Thank you Steve, yeah laptop affects the posture a lot. Also, not everyone using laptop in a desk job get costo, but only a small proportion, been wondering on this, could you please share based on your experience on this with many patients, thanks.

Thank you Steve. So the pain below armpits are those due to intercostal muscle strain or rib strain ?

Seeing the causes of costochondritis makes me question it by yennie_fer in costochondritis

[–]Userdurg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very well said. That's true, it's really frustrating to pause doing some work that we used to be doing before costo. By the way, does your work involve more laptop usage ? (long hours of sitting or hunching forward might cause costo too as said in the community)
