Costochondritis

Chondritis Costalis, also known as costochondritis, is a condition in which the cartilage connecting the ribs and sternum is inflamed. This can lead to chest pain and discomfort when breathing and moving.

Chondritis costalis usually develops in people over 40 years of age, but can occur at any age. The causes of this condition are not always clear, but it may be related to cartilage damage, past infections, increased physical activity, or repetitive movements of the chest.

Symptoms of Chondritis Costalis may include chest pain, which may get worse with breathing, coughing or movement, and tenderness when pressing on the area where the ribs meet the sternum. In some cases, the pain may feel like it is spreading to the shoulder or arm, which can be mistaken for symptoms of heart disease.

Various methods may be used to diagnose Chondritis Costae, including X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and blood tests. Treatment may include uninterrupted rest, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy. In some cases, a corticosteroid injection or, in rare cases, surgery may be required.

Chondritis Costalis may be associated with Tietze Syndrome, which is a condition in which the nerves running through the neck and shoulders are irritated or compressed. This can lead to pain in the chest, neck and shoulders. If you have symptoms of Costochondritis or Tietze Syndrome, see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

In medicine, there is a disease known as “costal chondritis,” or costal chondritis. These two concepts are synonymous. This type of disease is characterized by pain under the sternum. Patients often call these pains stabbing and burning. The causes of the disease must be sought in the complex anatomical structure of the chest and cervical spine. In addition, the culprits in the development of this process may be disturbances in blood circulation in the myocardium and pericardium.

Chondritis of the ribs manifests itself in different ways. Pain that causes discomfort may appear and intensify with any movement. It most often has a paroxysmal character,
