A member asked:
What can you do to relieve the pain of costochondritis? tried ibuprofen, aleve, naproxen, and heat pack but still experiencing bad pain frequently
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe steroids: For costochondritis pain is not relieved by regular antifinflammatories, sometimes oral steroids will work better. You will need to discuss this with a health professional to get RX if deemed appropriate.
