| Most chronic pain such as arthritis, bursitis, back pain, and costochondritis is a result of persisting repair deficit in joint tissue. |
| A COSTOCHONDRITIS, also known as Tietze Syndrome, is cased by inflammation of the cartilage where the ribs attach to the breast bone. |
| The chest pain may be a cardiac event but could also be costochondritis, or chest wall pain from repeated bouts of coughing. |
| This is likely costochondritis, or some other type of inflammation of the rib-cartilage joints that you have in each rib on the front of your chest. |
| Involvement of the sites of insertion of ligaments and tendons is manifested clinically as Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and costochondritis. |
| Costochondritis occurs when the cartilages bridging the ribs and sternum are inflamed, causing chest pain which can be confused with that arising from heart disease. |
