Costochondritis, also known as chest wall pain, costosternal syndrome, or costosternal chondrodynia[1] is a benign[2] and often temporary inflammation of the costal cartilage, which connects each rib to the sternum at the costosternal joint, and is a common cause of chest pain.[1][3][4] Though costochondritis is often self-limited, it can be a recurring condition that can appear to have little or no signs of onset.[5] Treatment options are quite limited and usually involve a combination of rest, analgesics, or anti-inflammatory medications;[6] however, in cases with intractable discomfort, cortisone injections[6][7] or surgery may be indicated. Typically, costochondritis patients are instructed to refrain from physical activity to prevent the onset of an attack.[8]
