Suggest Treatment For Costochondritis
I have costochondritis. I have not had any pains since I became pregnant and my daughter is now five months old. About four days ago it came on suddenly at night and has been bothering me since. Its the worst at night and my heart is racing. What should I do to get it to stop?

See if you are lactating you might be depleted of essential vitamins and minerals like calcium magnesium potassium required for proper muscle function and might be one factor to trigger sharp pains in run muscles due to spasms
So take proper nutrition and multivitamin supplements needed for lactation( feeding Baby) and continue to take them well over 1 year after you stop lactation for body to recover.
if you continue to experience pains and if you are feeding baby better take Physiotherapy and topical pain creams to apply rather than taking pain meds orally.
Hope this helps
