A member asked:
I have chostocondritis, will it worsen with excersise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can: It is an inflamation of the cartilageous portion on the ribs that attach ribs to the sternum. Deep breathing and upper extremity exercises can stress this already inflamed tissue. Nsaids taken before exercise can help.
