  I attempted to look up Tietze's syndrome on the Web, but did not find much.  What confuses me the most is that every doctor I talk to tells me the last doctor I saw was wrong.  The frustration of all this is becoming a serious depression problem.  Why can't 2 doctors ever agree on anything?
  Where can I find out more about Tietze's Syndrome?  Please do not refer to a physician.  I have lost faith in them, and am attempting to treat myself.  Even if I die, at least I won't have a doctor to blame.

Perhaps there may be a rheumatology forum somewhere on the web - ask about costochondritis.
I am sorry you have lost faith in doctors. Disagreement is common - most patients don't have textbook illnesses. That's why they haven't replaced us with computers. The best we can do in a complicated situation is to take a systematic approach to defining the problem and attempt thus to arrive at a solution.
Good luck. CCF MD mdf.
