Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, thyroid medicines or stress can not cause costochondritis.
Costochondritis is inflammation of ribs and cartilage. Most common cause for this is overuse or sudden jerk or bad postures in sleep etc.
So better to avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain.
Avoid bad postures in sleep. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs.
You will mostly improve with all these. Stress or eltroxin can not cause this.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
