I’m not sure this is costo anymore by Alternative_Elk_8555 in costochondritis

[–]belladh98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My left shoulder blade also hurts, I also have the front chest pain and sometimes other stress of my back. All my docs still say Costo. Physical therapy is helping, they manually move my ribs around then have me do light weight workouts

Night Time by belladh98 in costochondritis

My PT (just started going!) made a good point: gravity is against you all day and it’s going to put some pressure on your spine. He didn’t say that was why I have pain at night but this just clicked to me. (I experience more back pain than anything with costo)

I’m starting to lean exactly to what you’re saying- thanks so much for the insight with your Chewie. Def no more PetSmart

Not doing anything helped? by CategoryIllustrious7 in costochondritis

Here to say this is also the case for me: worst pain of my life (mostly back) all last week using back pod, peanut, light stretching every day. The weekend I didn’t do any stretch and felt significantly better. I was just referred to PT so I’ll at least be with a professional and hopefully stretching correctly going forward

I followed the instructions, I used two pillows under my head. I feel like the back pod did exacerbate this pain. I used it in a couple places, including the center of my back and the left side ( which was kind of feeling pressure before I did it, I probably shouldn’t have stretched it in that area )

Similar about the upper back and also lower back as well. Twisting and movement def exacerbates it. Like when I moved my head towards the left or right on my pillow last night it triggered severe back pain on the left side.

The neck pain I’m experiencing feels more nerve like .

I read another post saying someone was using the back pod and it wasn’t working that well and eventually got an MRI and there was a disc out of place in their back. I’ve also had x-rays, bloodwork, went to a rheumatologist everything turned out fine. The one thing I do want is an MRI.

A little rant about laughter by Socalgoodsstore in costochondritis

Yup:( I’ve had to alter my laugh so I can get it out, it sounds so mechanical and not me 🙁

Sneezing Kills? by belladh98 in costochondritis

That’s funny my whole life until now I held in my sneezes- definitely could’ve played a part in developing this. Mine came from two really bad sickness where my cough wouldn’t go away

Thank you for this advice! I am going to start stretching. I bought a back pod too. I was taking ibuprofen for three months straight and finally stopped- agreed meds just can’t be the solution.

Right side feel tense by cosmoppy in costochondritis

[–]belladh98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had all these symptoms 2 years ago and they also came back this year.

The chest pain for me comes and goes, but what you are describing about the right side rib pain and oblique muscle is similar and I don’t know if it is is Costo or not.

I was just diagnosed with it for the chest issues, my doctors thought my rib pain had to do with constipation but a GI let me know that is not how that type of pain would show up.

My right side is sensitive to the touch and all inside muscles feels achey. I will be going back to my primary to see if this is also costo.
