2 months of costochondritis

Experience

Hello,

I’d like to share my experience with costochondritis.

I’ve been suffering from costochondritis for about 2 months now. It has been 1 week since I started using the Backpod (with 1 cushion), and I notice some improvement. Sometimes the pain can disappear completely and I feel nothing, but at other times I feel a pulling sensation in my chest, which then goes away again.

At rest, I currently have no symptoms at all. However, with small movements, like raising my arm, I sometimes feel a slight sensation around the sternum.

I will continue using the Backpod in the hope of overcoming this condition, as costochondritis is really holding me back a lot and I can no longer go to the gym. My days without training feel like a nightmare.

If anyone has managed to recover from costochondritis, please share how you did it. Thank you 🙏🏽
