A member asked:

Over 2 weeks ago i have been diagnosed costochondritiis. now a few times i had a few charley horses over my left lung. now it's very sore and tender to touch it. what's going on?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: First costochondritis , while painful, is very common , and not dangerous. It is an inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone- you can have pain with breathing or movement -It often resolves without treatment - it is often treated with NSAIDs If the pain persists , I would see your doctor and get her advice on further treatment.
