A member asked:

My sciatica flare up and costochondritis type symptoms seem to go hand in hand, any nerve type link between the two issues?

Specializes in Neurology

Maybe: interesting. You may have an idiopathic neuropathy, or mononeuritis multiplex. Might want to see a Neurologist if you haven't seen one. If you have, might want them to do nerve studies.
