sorry if I asked this before- forgot if I did or not
recently figured out costochondritis is one of my symptoms- figure its form the tick pathogens-- figured it could be a clue into what I am dealing with?
anyone else have this and if so what co infection causes it?

I’m thinking Bartonella?


I’m not sure if I have that - but I do have rib issues - sore to touch at times on my front left side (rarely now) and also the tightness - like my ribs are in vice grips and hard to take a deep breath. This happens periodically -

i think its lyme.

costochondritis is the degrading of connective tissue in the chest area. Lyme definitely can do that.

Have you taken collagen II, hyaluronic acid and glucosamine?

Lapis- is it a degeneration of the tissue or an inflammation? I thought it was more the inflamation but the degeneration seems more scary and less reversible?
will treating the babesia and lyme cause the costochondritis to reverse?

I have not taken any of those things nor heard of them-- I was just diagnosed with it last week and the clinic I was at did daily massages of it for 5 days which calmed it down a lot but now that I am back home it is flaring right up again ( was not a lyme clinic was a chiro treating my hiatal hernia)
I had been hoping treating babesia/lyme owuld make it go away? will it?

Lapis what do those things you mentioned specifically each do for costochondritis? do you have it and did those help and how?

Hi,

I was diagnosed with costocondritis prior to my lyme diagnosis. My ND thinks it’s from Bartonella. When my ribs were sore this past January, I was put back on Minocycline for six weeks and that cleared up the pain. I now only seem to get pain when I herx (which also causes a lot of twitching in my ribs).

inflammation and degredation are part of the same process, the one leads to the other.


collagen II, hyaluronic acid and glucosamine all stimulate connective tissue repair.
