k i think mine flared up again from moving boxes at work - then i lifted my 3 yr old and it won't heal. anyway i played catch with my 16 yr old son last night with a football. costo is on left side - i am a right hander. feels flared up today. think the football throwing uses your chest wall muscles? my son swears it only uses my arm muscle. i know better than that but wondering if it could affect the other side? i also kicked the ball alot hard. who knows - just sick of this pain!! anyone ever take mobick for it? never heard of it but my dr just recommended. it's causing me alot of anxiety. don't like this sternum/rib pain at all!! i worry about
it cause it keeps coming back. ugh! i also just recently put my son on my feet to do the airplane ride. ha i think that really messes it up. why won't it just heal????? it's depressing!!!
is it normal to cause anxiety even if you know what it is? i haven't had anything to rule out anything else - but been to 3 diff docs who by my symptoms think costo and maybe GERD. but GERD meds aren't affecting it much. it's more of a dull ache than a burning like heartburn.
does heat or cold help it better? if you have dealt with this, please tell me your best ways to help it. thanks!!!
