The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Costochondritis or something else. Please HELP!!
Hi guys.For 7 months I fell pain in right-center side of the chest.
This pain is triggered only when I move my trunk, push my 2nd rib next to sternum or lift something or move something..
When I sneeze my sternum pops
And some times is very painful for 3-4 days.
I went to the doctor before 5months I did a x-ray and he saw nothing.
Next I did a CT and He told me that there is a problem between muscle and bone and I need to take a rest for some weeks.. but the pain was still there ..
Next before 1.5 month I did a MRI. Doctor told me that I have something like edema in the junction between 2nd rib and sternum muscle.
Also I took and ant inflammation drugs 2 times for about 15 days.
I am very upset about this .. I have this pain for 7 months .... I am very scared to sneeze because I feel a movement between the bones ..
I used to be very active person. (windsurfing, gym, kick boxing etc ) and now :(
Could you give me any advice .. about my problem ?
Can you tell me if any of homeopathy remedies can be useful and how can I take it.
I will appreciate it.
thank you

Hi
Try Noni juice. I tried it based on reading about peoples experiences with it in case of getting relief from this pain and it worked for me. For me it just took 2 days for the pain to fade.

Just give it a try..it's only a juice.
