Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had a shot for costochondis 4 years ago and have been doing pretty good . But Christmas I had some stomach flu and think that was when it started. I went to Dr. today and he says I have costochondis but he only felt around on left side and chest. No x ray nor tests but sending me to another Dr.
Hello, In my opinion its not uncommon for costochondritis to relapse. I presume you are being referred to a doctor who has more experience with this condition. If I were your treating doctor I would prescribe tests to rule out rheumatic and other connective tissue disorders. Hope I have answered all your queries. If you have any further questions I would be happy to help.
