Costochondritis a pain in the chest!

[cheekee]

Costochondritis is inflammation of the muscles in the chest close to the sternal area (sternum)

The muscles that surround the ribs are the intercostal muscles and the pain is caused because when you breathe, you use these muscles.

Take some anti inflammatories and in time it should heal....

i dont ache when i breath it seems agrevate when i push or lift something heavy or if i put too much pressure on things etc..
