Hi, my name is Sue and I was wondering if anyone has had this painful condition costochondritis. I have had it since my radiotherapy in Sept 07 and it keeps returning with a vengeance !! I am off work at the moment because I can hardly move, the pain in my ribs and chest/back is so bad…I have done everything my surgeon has told me and am being made to feel like a hyperchondriac now…I feel like ive done a round with Mike Tyson…just wondered if i am alone in this ?
