Hospital

Oh jeez. Sorry for my absence.


Costochondritis is an inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone (sternum). It causes sharp pain in the costosternal joint — where your ribs and breastbone are joined by rubbery cartilage. Pain caused by costochondritis may mimic that of a heart attack or other less serious heart conditions. Most cases of costochondritis have no apparent cause. In these cases, treatment focuses on easing your pain while you wait for costochondritis to resolve on its own. They say it can happen from an injury, fibromyalgia or a virus. There can be an overlap similar to Tietze Syndrome.


Yuck. I hate not being 100%!!!

I will hopefully make a faboo post soon and I need to send my Summer at Tiffany book to Jennifer!
