What Is The Relationship Between Costochondritis And Thyroid Disorder?

What is the relationship between Costochondritis and Thyroid disorder? My doctor diagnosed me with thyroid disorder, hypothyroidism. I developed a lump where my collar bone and sternum meet. When it is inflamed, it is very painful and the pain radiates through my shoulder to my back and into my neck. My doctor said there isn t anything more she can do besides take my thyroid out.

Costochondritis does not have any role with thyroid diseases. However hypothyroidism may cause pain conditions like fibromyalgia.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
