Costacondritis what causes it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: I am not sure anyone really knows. It seems to occur more frequently in patients with chronic anxiety or depression and is really a problem of chronic pain rather than inflammation. That is why anti-inflammatory meds usually do not work.
