Dear Dr Berg, I cannot believe today's video when I watched it. I have a friend who has suffered terribly with much of what you talk about, so I shall be sharing this video with her and I'm sure it will be of great help, as many of your videos have helped my husband after a long hospital stay, and of course myself. Thank you ever so much for sharing your wonderful knowledge with all. Greetings from 🇬🇧

Thank you so much for this video. I had discussed this horrible pain in my lower rib cage for years to my doctors, they check my abdomen and feel nothing unsual. I did have a rib injury decades ago and never thought this condition even existed. Also, I lost 10 lbs since watching your videos and feel good. Thank you!!

My 11 year old daughter suffered greatly from this. We visited a lot of doctors and eventually saw a heart specialist who diagnosed her. Its from inflammation so I found a turmeric extract called curcumin. Shes takes it morning a night and she has zero symptoms. She use to become light headed, nauseous, pale, depressed. It was extreme. She dropped out of all sports. The curcumin saved her life.

[@user-ib2kt4oo7i]

For OP, please look up a product called a backpod. I have this chronic issue. Yes it’s chronic. Daily stretching using the backpod, doing chin tucks, and arm wall stretches will help you. The biggest thing that helped me was the backpod. Please get that for your daughter and I guarantee it will help you. The vitamin d didn’t help me. I took 10,000 mg and still do, but it didn’t help me.

I had this when I had a horrible bout of bronchitis and was coughing deeply and for long periods of time. The pain drove me to the ER with the Doctor saying it was costochrondritis….when finally recovered from the bronchitis the pain eventually disappeared but oh it was so painful to even breathe. BTW, after getting bronchitis 1-3 x a year, and covid after a full three month bout of the bronchitis totaling 4.5 months of miserable sickness, i did my research and went on a supplement regiment with antioxidants and D3, K2, and many others i think around 18 of them, i have not had an upper respiratory infection for 3+ years! And of course prayer. It all works! What a freedom from illnesses!

[@izar4494]

Thank you Dr Berg for this video. For more than 25 years I have suffered from this condition. Never had any diagnosis on this. Nobody really belived me when i described my symptoms. Now I know that I am not a hypocondric person, and my pain is real :)

I had this years ago in my early 30s. It was so painful I could barely breathe and some nights I would awaken in the middle of the night and wouldn't be breathing at all because of the pain. I would have to actually force myself to breathe to get oxygen back into my body. I went to 3 different doctors before I got a diagnosis. He gave me anti-inflammatories, steroids and pain meds and I got better fast. I've never had another episode, thank God, but I still remember how painful it was and how incapacitated I was. That was over 45 years ago and thankfully, I'm still getting around ok.

[@janetneva]

The problem being on steroids and ant-inflammatories is that it is not advisable to be on them for an extended time

I was diagnosed with costochondritis in 2021, after I had Covid. I got my diagnosis but I didn't get strong medication so my recovery still had a long way to go. I took things into my own hands by researching and found this educational vid on KZbin where a doctor explained how increasing blood flow to your back area would help with healing your rib. I decided to get back to the gym and change my workout plan, doing light exercises for the back, several days a week. Eventually, the pain went away and I could wear seatbelts again, workout properly and much more. Today, I'm almost fully healed but I'm not so comfortable with certain angles when it comes to my left side and arm position. Still, I recommend to anyone who is suffering from this condition to do a lot of light back exercises to increase blood flow to your spine wich will in turn heal your ribs.

[@barsbaksi5861]

After 8 more months, are you %100 healed? Whenever I say I’m healing it comes back for no reason at all. I started thinking it’s permanent

[@RebelliousProtagonist]

@@barsbaksi5861 Hello! I would say I'm still at "almost fully healed", since I can activate the pain/discomfort by doing certain angles, but my quality of life is good. I am sorry to hear that your problem seems to reoccur though. It is possible that your problem has turned into a chronic diagnosis. Is there something in your daily life that perhaps might disrupt your healing?

[@barsbaksi5861]

@@RebelliousProtagonist I don't think so I don't even go to the gym for years. .Whoever I talk generally mentions they're around %90 healed. It's so so hard to see a person who can say ''I'm %100 healed''.. For that reason I still believe surgery is the only option for me but it's very hard to find a doctor who can take this responsibility and accept the surgery. I wish you to best my friend. I hope you'll join %100 healed community :)

[@RebelliousProtagonist]

@@barsbaksi5861 The condition could really use some more research, to be more understood. I hope you can get a surgery for your problem, they shouldn't deny you if it keeps reoccuring.

I was doing a lot of cycling at an intense level. My breathing was very hard and over time I must have strained all my intercostal muscles because one day I simply twisted and dislocated a rib. The muscles were so tight they pulled a rib out of my mid back, ouch. Recovery was non existent until 4 weeks later I saw a massive improvement when I stretched the front of my body. Simply bending over backwards on a foam roller immediately helped. I've also been massaging my own ribs in the front. The pain was incredible but along with stretching I've seen massive improvements. Its funny because i felt no pain in ny ribs until i started massaging inbetween them, but treating and stretching the front has sorted out alot of problems i had in the back.

I got injured at work trying to help an elder not fall. She grabbed my hand and I tried to prevent her fall.

my chest fell on the handle bar of my bike when I was a kid. I fell hard on it and it knocked the wind out of me. the docs said I almost died. then a few years later I was diagnosed with scoliosis, which corrected itself through my adolencence but started having severe chest pain at 18 years old. the hosp doc didnt know why and just said I had "Pleurasy" which frickin kept me from pursuing the dream I wanted in the USAF and police force. I have a lot of weird, strange seamingly serious health symptoms now, and the docs either don't understand, or just don't want to take it seriously.

Thank you for the validation. Lost all my vaso vagal tone in an instant after I broke ribs 2-7 at or near costovertebral joints . No one will surgically treat these thoracic injures. I got PRP injections in my Costovertebral joints, transeverse processes, SC joint - it helped a bit with stability, but would not recommend it unless you already have a trusted relationship with a PRP provider who is an ultrasound and needle ninja. (I'm lucky). The "pain" is not sharp, it's more a deep choking, gurgling. Like I'm bubbling in my chest wall. A deep sense of doom like impending death. Heart palpitations. Mechanical instability. I cannot play any sports nor lie on my back without something propped under the ribs. What hurts is the rest of the body working overtime to hold me upright and provide suspension when my thoracic cage is slumped. My poor foot. I can feel the stress fracture. I hope my hip and foot can hold out long enough for me to find a surgeon. It's been 3 years and I've seen multiple surgeons, sports med Dr's, Cardiologist.

You can experience a wide variety of symptoms from stabbing pulling pinching hooking in the pain can be bad enough to make you suicidal and often goes undiagnosed from 2 to 5 years.

Geeeshh! This is me! Had a skiing fall a few years ago where i probably fractured a rib on my left side. Hurt like hell on the side to the back especially laughing or coughing. Skied the rest of the week anyway. No issues skiing. Only sleeping. Pain from front to back. After all this time, only now hurts in middle of the night slightly front to back after in a deep sleep. Was thinking i had a heart condition but absolutely no pain when awake or playing competitive tennis!

That's amazing to know thank you very much Dr. Berg❤

[@Drberg]

No problem. Thanks for watching the video.

Thankyou. I developed this when coming off from long bed rest for months, post knee OP due to accident. Rolling up a ball up the thoracic seems to help and deep breathing. Its a long process to come out of it and have to maintain good posture all around.

I needed this info, and didn't even know it.

I too had this. Still i get it in btw. Got ecg done by cardiologist which was ok. Then went to my chest specialist who told me i had this costochondritis. But he dint tell about vitamin d deficiency. He gave me nerves relaxant and told me to make a small pillow which i can keep in btw my chest so that the heat can heal it. He said volini etc will also not help as being a female i have lot of skin tissues there. Gradually the pain went. But its like on n off. It comes it goes. :)

I got it due to excessive coughing as a result of aspiration pneumonia. I thought I'd broke my rib because I was in agony and then maybe a collapsed lung because I couldn't inhale due to the pain. I ended up in A&E but there was no fracture. I had the pain in my breast bone for 5 mths, I thought it was never going away!
