A member asked:
Costochondritis is not going away . all the nsaid and anti inflammatory do not work . i keep thinking costo will eventually lead to a heart attack ?

Costochondritis: If truly a Costochodritis, this will NOT lead to a heart attack. Try seeing the doctor and keep plugging away. Trigger point injections are always an option and even Acupuncture or Chiropractic or Osteopathic manipulation can benefit you. Good luck.
