Re: just wondering...what is costochondritis??

[Guest guest]

Alice, what is costochondritis? I've had throbbing off and on in my

breasts also. I had it quite a bit when I first got my implants in

1999 and it eventually went away. It started again a few weeks ago.

One day I cried all day because it hurt so bad. It's better now. I

don't know what sets it off though. Maybe using my arms a lot?

Congrats on setting up a date with Dr. Feng. I hope you can get the

insurance to pay. I still haven't heard anything on mine. I have an

exclusion in the policy so I don't have much of a chance. My surgery

was in December. I guess it can take months.
