Costochondritis Injury

39steps · 2012-03-05 12:45:43

Hi all, I've been diagnosed by GP with costochondritis (inflammation of cartilage between ribs and sternum) - quite painful. I think I over-stretched at pilates! GP prescribed anti-inflammatory gel and rest. Anyone experienced this and/or how long it takes to heal? Thanx.

I had it/or was told i had it a few years ago, got it (or worsened it) from doing dips, would get a sharp pain when trying to do them and chest would make a cracking/popping noise when i stretchedi it in the mornings.

it takes a while to go away fully, need to avoid straining that area but you can do everything else.
