A member asked:
Chest pain back pain. 17. im thinking its costochondritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Always possible: Costochondritis is always possible given your age. It will be uncommon to cause back pain, though. If you have a clearly delineated area where by just pressing lightly you can reproduce or worsen the pain, your pain is most likely musculoskeletal. Otherwise would suggest seeing your doc for a detailed exam and diagnosis.
