Hi,

I feel you need apart form pain medicines to get examined and investigated with MRI to know exact site and extent of injury to cartilage. Cartilage tear may need invasive treatment like arthroscopic to sooth torn cartilage or remove entangled pieces. Or get implants to help healing. Also, learn to do without having harmful movements. Please consult top rib cartilage specialist for more specific treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
