Diagnosed with costochondritis! is it normal for the chest to be really sore from time to time along with a burning sensation?

Yes: Costochondritis does often cause these symptoms. Tenderness at the costochondral junction (area between the ribs and cartilage that connects to the breastbone) is the most common sign with this condition.

Yes: Costochondritis refers to an inflammatory condition that affects the ribs, at the junction where the bone portion of the rib articulates with the cartilage. People with costchondritis can have chest pain and tenderness. The use of antiinflammatories are usually among the first things done to treat the condition. Thank you for the question.
