Pain in BOTH ribs (Costochondritis?)
Hi,I am a 22 year old male who has been suffering with this problem for 6 months now, it is really draining me having constant pain everyday.
I had been diagnosed with costochondritis around 6 months ago after smoking marijuana while having a huge cold.. I rushed to ER thinking it was a heart attack but they said it was just a viral infection and would go away, the pain went away within a few days and seemed to be gone within 5 days.. I smoked MJ right after the 5 days and it came back, but the pain would go away by the morning, it just felt like a stabbing pain due to the infection..
2 days after the last attack and the pain was gone i had tried LSD for the first time which triggered a panick attack which lasted 12 hours long and i tightened up the chest muscles on my left side which caused a huge muscle cramp which tigetened up so much to the point that it caused what i believe now to be costochondritis - an inflammation of the ribs?
I seemed to clear this problem up with constant exercise and good diet after 3 months, but when i smoked marijuana again it triggered a panick attack which tightened up the chest and brought it right back. After another 2 months with the problem it finally cleared up again.. The next day i seemed to have a panic attack for no reason (i havent smoked anything for 4 months) and the pain is now in both the left and the right side.
It hurts when i breathe in, when i move, the pain is 24 hours a day. I can't take my mind of the pain because every breath i take in makes the pain worse. Due to the chest being so tight it hits my nerves which goes under my arm into my fingers and is so painful.
I tried ran-b 30c for 3 days and almost instantly it seemed to help with the pain, i was taking 5 pellets under tongue 3 times a day and then somebody on this forum told me it was too much and to stop and to get the 200c instead.. I have now ordered this but wanted to see if there was any other advice?
It seems maybe I put my stress into my chest area which causes it to get too tight and then any sudden movement will re start the inflammation with the ribs and then block up my airways.
Sorry for the long write up - I just thought i would be as detailed as possible.

What if i can only get the nux vom in pills?
Also are you 100 percent sure to continue with the ran-b 30c not the 200?
Thanks so much for your help

Hoyts,
Anuj does not seem to be on today-
do the nux vomica as described and
use 5 pills 3 times in a row.

You have it right-
Do the Ran B and the cell salt kali phos from Day 2
and then use the mag phos cell salt for pain as
needed. You can get the Kali phos and Mag phos
from Whole Foods- hylands brand, or Vitacost online.

Hi,
I took the nux vom 200c last night at around 5pm, felt a little bit anxious when taking it but nothing else really.
I wanted to mention that later that night around 11pm i drank a lot of alcohol and also vaporised a little bit of marijuana.. I really didn't plan for this to happen but wanted advice on what to do now.
Its day 2, should i start the Ran B.
Also wanted to add the past few weeks have been getting better every-time i exercise it seems to clear up a little bit.. If i dont exercise my muscles seem to tighten up and the pain begins when i breathe in.

Hi Anuj,
I am going to redo the nux tomorrow so will report back after that.
Wanted to add.
These last 6 months i have been constantly thinking about this problem I have as each breath i take i am reminded of the pain and discomfort over and over (as it blocks up my airway).
It seems like there is nothing I can do to take my mind off this problem, even if i am talking to somebody, driving, reading a book, watching a movie, exercising, at the exact same time my mind is worrying about my condition.
In the beginning i suffered from panick attacks but haven't had one in months due to changing my diet.
But as I become more familiar with this condition and i learn how to deal with it physically and even seeing some improvement, mentally it seems like i am still obsessed with it.. I believe that even if i get over this condition i wont be able to get out of the habit of thinking about it which may actually be making the condition worse.
I find at times my mind might wander off when i am deep into a conversation and then instantly i will think about it again and drift my attention back into my mind to think about it. This makes concentrating on anything almost impossible, i am worried i might crash into something when i'm driving as my full attention is not on the road.
It seems like my mind is trying to think of 2 things at the same time and i feel over exhausted.
I will continue with my other remedies on my other post but wanted to see if you could help with this?
Thanks

You should stop taking and wait for Anuj.I think you have
had too much Ran B bc you were taking it even before
he prescribed it.

Hi,
It seems that with continuous exercise my pain seems to become less and less, and is almost gone completely.
I find that my mind is still constantly thinking about it and i have to really focus on my breath and which direction the breath goes into my lungs to avoid causing irritaiton inside (i know this sounds strange but it helps)
I feel much better when i wake up in the morning as my thoughts were stopped for 8 hours straight but when my thoughts start again and my mind wanders back to visualising the chest and the problem i get very fidgity and cannot get my mind off it.
I used to meditate twice a day and now when I meditate it seems like the entire time i cannot get my mind off this problem and the meditation seems to make me worse off.
Is there anything i can take that is going to take my mind off this problem even though i am reminded of it on every breath - its challenging?
Thank you
