What do people do to help with with the pain from Costochondritis?
I'm can't take paracetamol or Naporxen as I'm allergic and I'm not allowed to take ibuprofen for to long due to it affecting my chronic migraines, when Costochondritis flares up I have a lot of pain for 6-8 weeks. Any advice please
This is one of my most regular symptoms in varying intensity
I have started using CBD oil and have found it has made a great difference in the pain levels across my whole body
I take a few drops every morning and find I'm generally keeping a even level - unless I do too much- then I simply take a few extra drops and usually within 20 mins pain has decreased/ gone
I would alternate between heat pads and ice packs until oil has kicked in. I find sitting propped up by pillows rather than lying down or sitting upright helps as well
Epsom salts baths also help relax muscles and therefore tension it causes you
Hope this helps
Gentle hugs n God Bless xx
I have never had this but i will ask my neirologist next time i see jer on any ideas to help with pain
Thanks hopefully you don't get it, it's very worrying, i'm yet to have to go to a & e with it but was close in May. You worry it's your heart, i've been told if unsure get it check out straight away. So i'm going with that
Another thing that might help is a cooling gel like Biofreeze. I was going to suggest an ibrufen gel but will help only if not reacting to tablet form
Another product which I have seen great reviews for is a CBD oil based lotion from FayFarms they do a range of products that you might want to google about. They ship worldwide.
@A MyFibroTeam Member I won, I'm getting a new report written, and the hospital are going to make changes to the way complaints are dealt with and the fact a cover letter could have been sent ages ago correcting all this without me going through all the stress of the last few months. They can't delete the old report but can produce a new one. I don't care as long as it's correct. Thanks for asking
