I'm hitting all the MS boards lately. Hope someone can help.
I'm looking for other patients who have costochondritis with their MS. I read that costo can be related to autoimmune disease. Does anyone know any more about this subject? I suspect it's related to the infamous MS HUG. Thanks |

Hi Peahen, As far as I can tell costochondritis is a benign condition causing inflamation and tenderness in the chest wall, is not autoimmuine and is not related to MS.
Thanks for visiting.

Hi peahen
ME, ME, ME!! I got diagnosed with costochondritis just after having a relapse in August 06. I thought I was having a heart attack! Just what I needed after the relapse. The costo seems to come and go, however Ive been feeling it more recently. Ive just had steriod treatment (2 weeks ago) and so dont know if its flared up after that. I have read else where that there could be a link and that it is auto-immune related. And IT IS inflamation... See you're not alone! |

I have also been diagnosed with costochondritis, although not with MS (yet ?). I started getting chest pain about 3-4 months ago, felt like a heart attack, and saw seperate dr's who all thought it was costochondritis. The chest pain comes and goes, sometimes for 4-5 days at a time, then leaves for a length of time. I also get associated pain in my collarbone and throat area, and pains in my shoulders, legs and lower back, that seem to come and go. I have an appointment to get an MRI because of other symptoms that pointed towards possible MS (some numbness/tingling, extreme fatigue). However, every doctor I have seen (including neurologist) says chest pain and neck(area) pain are NOT symptoms of MS. Can anyone say otherwise? I am curious to know if any people who have been diagnosed with MS have had these symptoms, or anything related to this.
Please respond |

Hiya, newbies! Welcome to NeuroTalk! Did you all come on a bus together?
I've never heard of this one, but I have had wicked MS hug for weeks on end in the chestal region. Hm. My nuero never gave it a cool name though. Stick around, some of us ain't right, but we do like to laugh.

I've never even heard of this condition , and have been on the MS forums basically since they invented such a place to come.

Welcome to NeuroTalk Peahen & Braveheart, and yes I have what I'm guessing is costochondritis as well. We don't have a forum for it as such, but I've heard it's rather common. Maybe others will chime in now that you've brought the subject up.
