My dr said i have costochondritis. the pain is in my ribs both sides under breasts toward sides pain when pushed on. had pneumonia. how long lasting?

Highly annoying...: For its discomfort, how it jabs you worse when "need to breathe, " and (unfortunately) how it can last anywhere 2-6 weeks...Very hard to predict. Hopefully the NSAID they provided for you is working--ibuprofen or naprosyn (naproxen) often helps make it manageable.
