A member asked:
I have been diagnosed with costochondritis a few months ago the pain is intense is there anything i can do to relieve it other then tylenol (acetaminophen) or heat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Costochondritis: You may have better pain relief with Ibuprofen than acetaminophen, because Acetaminophen has no anti-inflammatory properties. You could also try some stretching exercises at home. Your doctor may try some other prescription remedies, such as diclofenac gel (topical nsaid) or cyclobenazaprine (muscle relaxant).
