A member asked:

I was diagnosed with costochondritis april 2013 but the chest pain recurrent or still here up to now is it normal or i have connective tissue diseas?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

costochondritis: Probably still costochondritis. It can be stubborn and difficult to treat. Make sure you are avoiding strenuous activities which may be preventing you from healing. Anti-inflammatory drugs are helpful.
