Anyone heard of or had Costal Chronditis?

My mom had this, right after starting up bowling again too! She had lots of tests done before the doctors figured out what was going on, as it really didn't come on suddenly for her. I'm glad they figured it out quick. Mom said the worst part about it was not knowing why she felt so terrible. Prayers on the way

I had this about 3+ weeks ago, and too ended up in the ER over it. It was so painful -- it would wake me out of a very sound sleep with sharp jabbing pains throughout my whole chest. I thought I was dying. It took about 2 weeks to feel better, but it did eventually heal. They didn't prescribe any meds for it, just ibuprofin.

I hope you feel better soon!!!!

Kim I have never heard of it and can imagine how scared you must have been (and all of you that have had it!) There is so much on the news today about women and heart disease that I would have thought for sure I was having a heart attack. I am glad your heart is OK and this is something that is fixable and will go away. I guess you have to hang up your bowling shoes.
