Costocondritus keeps waking me up when i turn over in the night, i seem to get so tender on a night, naproxen isn't touching it, what else can i do?

Other than getting -: -sone pain medication from Ur MD, if this is acute Tylenol (acetaminophen) may not cut it. U can also try a rib belt, one that is elastic with velcro closure. This is worth a try. Most pharmacies have them.
