What is the best treatment for costochondritis if i cannot take anti-inflammatory medications due to chronic kidney disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Topical Ice: Initially topical ice is probably the best choice. If after a few days this is not resolving, a doctor with the appropriate training could consider doing a steroid injection in the affected cartilage.
