Wow, I have been making myself crazy because all I can think about is this stupid pain. Well its not stupid it is scary. It is located to the top of my left breast and it is a sharp to dull pain that comes and goes. I have been diagnosed with  Costochondritis and I am not sure what all that entails so I was looking for some support here. I got a steroid shot on Tuesday and a prescription of Previcid. What is weird is the pain does not seem to bother me when I am relaxed. But sense I worry about it all the time I have wine to relax and it helps. Is this weird or what? The more I worry over this the more it seems to act up. I went to massage therapy on Tuesday also and I felt amazing until yesterday evening! I think that the massage relaxed me and eased my mind and that is why the pain subsided for a while. Does anyone else on here feel this way?? Please respond asap..Thank you for your time!!

Costcondritis can stem from injury/trauma, infection, off alignment of the rib cage...there is almost always a root cause and the underlyinfg cause should be treated....http://www.mdjunction.com/forums/costochondritis-discussions/general-support/1228619

this is inflammation of the cartilage that connects the inner end of each rib with the breastbone (sternum). it can be more painful during exercise and cause chest tightness, massagage and anti-inflammitory drugs will help. good luck
