Costochondritis can : Explain the symptoms that you are having. It is caused by inflammation at the rib junctions. Typically exercises like bench press, shoulder flys, and push-ups can cause it. Can also be caused by prolonged coughing. Stop doing the things above for a period of time 3-4 weeks. Take nsaids. If it doesnt get better may want to try steroids like a Medrol (methylprednisolone) dosepak.
