@@Synergywellnessny Hi doc. Why is it that it takes some people years to get over Costochondritis? Also if I exercise while I’m still inflamed will it make my sternum worse or should I go ahead and continue stretching the anterior and strengthening the back? I’m already 3 1/2 months in.

Oh my gosh. This has been helpful. The ball thing always recommended on the ground and I cannot do the ground. The wall is a lifesaver. I feel some relief. I'll be doing this daily. THANK YOU.

Thanks! I love the Information age. I didn’t even know this condition existed. Looking back over my life, I’ve been dealing with this since I was a kid! I always felt like my upper torso was about to burst open whenever I took a deep breath. I’ve been breathing shallow as a result….I did this stretch just once and I can breathe easy now (the one with the ball). And I feel less anxious. It was affecting my quality of sleep. I thought I had sleep apnea or something. This will change the trajectory of my life. I’m doing this multiple times a day starting now.

Thanks po sa mga tips nkka tulong po sakin.

Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I've dealt with this for over ten years. I've also found that rotator cuff strengthening exercises help a ton. I've tried to sleep on my back but then suffer from sleep apnea. Do these in conjuction with rotator cuff work and you'll see some relief for sure.

Sweet!

Had it since feb 2023. It’s taken over my life. Comes and goes. The pain is no where near what it was. But it’s still there. It’s not really pain it’s more a feeling of weakness. Like say if I’m filling a kettle with water. Where I used to be able to fill it full. Now I can only fill it half full as the weakness / pain feeling in my sternum happens. I’ll try these exercises for sure. I was tempted to buy a back pod. I seen in one of your other vids you had a custom back pod thing. That’s better. But being in the uk 🇬🇧 I can’t seem to get one. Your one had like teeth on it to align with the vertebrae

yes thank you Doctor I will try these exercises so much than you I been to the ER too Patrick and scary yes. We can do this.

I just wanted to say thank you for being able to place a name to the issues I have been having. For around 6 months now since I had a bit of an accident, I have been experiencing sharp chest pains (right over where my heart would be), anxiety, feeling like I can't take complete breathes and being restricted. I believe Costochondritis is what I am suffering from and it makes sense as I have gone through all the EKG's, blood work, and check ups with everything coming up "normal". I appreciate your information and what you are doing to help.

Diagnosed with costo, post-covid. Not a fan of excessive Nsaids. Adopted an anti-inflammatory diet, daily consumption of tumeric + ginger and adjusting posture I noticed less pain. I will add these exercises with my yoga stretches, hoping for full nights sleep and longterm recovery.

I'm pretty sure my blood pressure went up from consistent anxiety and they told me to take BP medication a small dosage.. it's so annoying really as I never had BP issue. Also this annoying feeling keeps me hyperventilating, over breathing constant need to take a deep breath. It's because it's making me nervous and my back feels tense always.

I came across this video when i was at my lowest. Been suffering from upper/mid back pain for almost 6 months now. Most debilitating months of my life. Been to the doctor n number of times. Been taking anti anxiety meds. Also underwent nerve testing, ecg. Had xrays of my spine done. Was at a point where my dr started to think i was hypochondriac as every test came back negative. I was told i have week back muscles. After i googled my symptoms and came across costocondritis as a possible cause. I started-to look for exercises. I saw a positive comment on 1 of the videos where someone was claiming to feel relief within minutes. I laughed and said yeah let me try that for fun. So i started with the 1 st exercise and felt instant shoulder pain relief.. i was amazed and then did the other 2 exercises… and felt so normal in months . Thank you… thank you.

I ve been 6 times to ER with pain to my chest area in 1 month. I received wrong diagnosis as acute gastritis and wrong strong treatment that dehydrated me sa bad that I ended up hospitalized for few days. Then 11th Dr said I have anxiety so more wrong treatments with bad side effects. Finally after 1 month of nightmare, I got the diagnosis of joint sternum inflammation, that is so simple to treat. I suffered so many digestive issues due to wrong treatments…unable to work, almost lost my business. These are great exercises but most important is to find out the underlying issues of this problem. For me is a prolonged cough, for almost 2 years due to wearing the mask, has changed my stomach Ph balance, that is too alkaline. An Naturopathic Dr would be very helpful as well.

Had pain that was left of sternum and was radiating all the way to left elbow and neck area. Freaked me out big time.
