Suggest Treatment For Psoriatic Arthritis

I have been diagnosed - a year ago last June - with psoriatic arthritis, costochondritis. in Feb. this year, the rheumetologist added Fibromyalgia to my diagnosis. With my bouts of costochonditis, I often have pain and a tearing feeling in the area of my diaphram. I also often vomit. I'm told these things are not connected, but they happen together each time. Can costochondritis cause vomitting?

Hello

Thanks for writing to us,

I have studied your case with diligence.
Costochondritis may not lead to vomiting.

You may need further investigation like HRCT and blood work up.

Medication like muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain along with it use rib support belt.
You may consult physiotherapist for pain management. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
