A member asked:
How to relieve costochondritis?! severe pain in left breast which has radiated to my back. taken ibuprofen and using heat but it still really hurts??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually aspirin: Aspirin and bengay usually help costochondritis. Pain going from the breast to the back is very unusual for costochondritis. Are you sure the diagnosis is right.
