This is another condition that I have. Anything I should know before or after surgery regarding this condition?

Costochondritis is an inflammation of the junctions where the upper ribs join with the cartilage that holds them to the breastbone, or sternum.

Soure sounds like your question is a "ask your doctor" type question.

I was going to say "Yes - When I got the $255 bill for a 20 minute office visit to the ED specialist who only showed me what an AMS implant looks like and how it works if installed."

But then I realized this was a legitimate question, so I won't.

Yup it's an inflammation of the rib joints.

I will ask my surgeon if there is an issue. Probably not.
