A member asked:
What is it if you have symptoms of costochondritis that lasts only for a few minutes? i've heard that costocondritis lasts longer.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not costal: Typical costo chondritic pain does not come and go as you describe. Another cause such as musculoskeletal pain or simply chest wall or pleuritic pain would be more likely.
