Costochondritis is an inflammation of the junctions where the upper ribs join with the cartilage that holds them to the breastbone or sternum. The condition causes localized chest pain that you can reproduce by pushing on the cartilage in the front of your ribcage. Costochondritis is a relatively harmless condition and usually goes away without treatment. The cause is usually unknown.
You should be able to deal effectively with pain arising from the chest wall. Pain medicines (acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen), topical treatments (Ben Gay, Vicks Vaporub, etc.), and general measures such as heat and rest should help.
If symptoms persist for more than five days, see a doctor.
I hope this helps you. And good luck.
