Any Experience With Costochondritis??? (inflammed rib cage)

“I’d be careful with ibuprofen. I used it for a few weeks for shoulder pain and got a bleeding ulcer.”

Absolutely. I took a double dose of it for a pulled muscle and ended up with a “burnt” esophagus… no I was not drinking any alcohol.

Hope your kiddo gets some relief soon, @abasket! When they hurt, we hurt, too.

She is getting some prednisone today to take in addition to the ibuprofen. Primary care doc visit on Friday which will be good just from the standpoint of she will have a regular doc to see from now on. Hoping the steroids help with the pain - she was pretty rough last night! - when the ibuprofen is wearing off the pain/soreness def increases.
