Guest guest Posted May 25, 2000 Report Share Posted May 25, 2000 Costochondritis is a painful inflammation of the cartilage of the ribs where they attach to the sternum. It feels like cardiac pain and can even radiate to the arm. It also causes a feeling of tightness in the chest. The pain tends to be worse with movement and the area is sensitive to the touch. The cause is unknown. Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
