Costochondritis Chest Pain, Science Based 4 Self - Treatments That Work! Real Patient (Updated)

I bought a back pod for costo last year but only tried it a few times.So it didnt do anything. I watched this video and decided to give it another try. I used it every day and did a few exercises that were recommended. After one month of use my costochondritis is gone.. After 2 years of pain , this back pod works!!!

I had my first experience with Costochondritis last year during a semester at college. It was honestly really scary at first and I have terrible anxiety, especially when it’s related to my health. I went to the ER and they didn’t do much but said I was able to go home and just rest. They didn’t give me a name for what I was experiencing and it went away after a couple weeks. But now I had a horrible flare up again last month and I thought I was having a heart attack. I went to the ER where they drew blood and looked at my heart. They said everything was fine and all of my blood work was good, but I was still feeling extremely anxious about the whole situation. They told me i have Costochondritis and sent me home. Ever since then I’ve been having really bad flare ups of pain and it’s left me in a depressive state where I can’t bring myself to do anything. Tonight the pain has been pretty horrible, and it’s mainly been happening on my upper left side, which is something that leads me to be more anxious due to where my heart is. I try and tell myself it’s not a heart attack and my heart is fine but with my pain and anxiety it gets so hard not to have a panic attack. If anyone has any suggestions on how to lessen the anxiety over the pain please comment! I don’t have anyone who’s experienced this so if anyone also wants to talk about how they are feeling please comment and we can try to help each other!

You two are the best! A Life saver. We are blessed to have found you. Please keep doing the videos and keep enjoying them. I greatly appreciate everything you do. You cake a difference in many lives, as mine. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I had this after a flu that turned to bronchitis which led to costochondritis from the intensive coughing fits. It was excruciating pain at times, I missed nearly a month of work and school. My Doctor did tests and said I was fine and didn’t help in any way in terms of fixing my pain. He said it can just go away on its own one day. I ended up getting deep tissue massages and went to chiropractor and after about 2 weeks I started getting a lot better. A month later I was back to work and school. Not gonna lie it was a scary and depressing time for me. I’m glad you guys posted this cause at the time there weren’t many videos on what to do. I hope this brings help to future others. Keep up the great work, Bob and Brad!

You guys have helped me with so many problems that were causing me massive anxiety-- earlier this year I had chronic headaches for over a month and feared the worst, but your headache videos completely cured them. I was diagnosed with costo during an ER visit for chest pain last year, and it's flaring up now worse than it did then. Thanks to these videos, I have a backpod (okay, the $40 knockoff version but it's the same thing), and I finally have something I can do when the pain hits. It sure beats feeling helpless and waiting for it to end. Can't thank you guys enough-- your impact on the world is ginormous!

Thanks you guys! I thought I was 21 having heart problems but this was what I was diagnosed with. You gave me relief that everything was going to be okay

Thank you. My Costochondritis pain has just gone after four months. I thought it began after trying to drag a very large heavy flower pot. It was very scary and disrupted my sleep. I was lucky to have it diagnosed quickly following an ECG, Its great to know that there is something that can help without taking anti inflammatory and other pain killing drugs. This is very encouraging.

I can’t believe this!! You are both amazing. Every time you post I find some exercise to add to my routine or other info to help. I never heard of this before but like Brad I was sent to the hospital (I was mowing too!!) and they even went in to catheterize me and said oops your heart is great! Sorry we scared you, get some exercise, goodbye. And I have continued to experience this!! I’m going to talk to my doctor about this and get going on this. THANK YOU.

Thank you so much for your videos! They’re very valuable and it’s always a great pleasure to watch you. Your advice has helped me countless of times where I felt lost and in pain. Thank you for everything that you do for us! ❤️

I was diagnosed with costochondritis, too. And the first thing you mentioned is so super important: go and see your doctor. Not only because of your heart, but also to exclude cancer diseases or problems coming from your stomach. I am curious if your tips will work. Looking forward to trying them out. Will then update this comment. Thank you so far for this video.

Thank you! It happens to me sometimes and I feel like a knot under my left shoulderblade. Idk why but I’m happy for this video so I can release the pain instead of sitting their while having this pain

I got diagnosed by my doctor thanks to you guys. When my doctor pushed on that one spot it was very clear to both of us what it was. Mine is caused by a rib slightly out of place due to a car accident 2 years ago. Thanks to you I know how to deal with it and stop the pain.

I had Covid in July 2020 and after I recovered I discovered I had a partially collapsed lung and Costochondritis. I started doing the exercises mentioned in the video and for the first time in months I have gotten some relief. Thank you so much for sharing this information.

I've had this for years but never knew what it was. Your videos are so helpful I'm very happy to have found your channel. I bought my back pod for $48 on Amazon and it's exactly the same as this one. It has really helped me.

I am so happy that you have posted this video. It is certainly very frightening to have this chest pain and have the ER folks tell you your aren't having a heart attack and look at you for wasting their time. I got my heart totally checked out and the cardiologist was surprised my heart was as healthy as it was considering my size. Still, nothing they could do and my PCP said it would just go away. I found that when my back was really tense. (I have scoliosis, on my vertebrae are slightly twisted between my shoulder blades.) The chest pain was really bad. If I was able to release the tension in my back, the chest pain would go away. So I am happy that it seems I stumbled on part of the exercises. I did also notice that when I was trying to exercise my arms, the pain would come, so I haven't really exercised my arms. Now I feel confident I can get back to working on my flabby arms. I am definitely going to research this more and start on the exercises. Thank you so much!

You guys are good, comfort me in a way i found myself doing it because i thought it was good but lm so tense at some point i wasnt sure if i was doing the good thing, thanks a lot for enlightening me

That was really helpful , thank you. Looking forward for more such videos. Stay safe everyone

About 30 years ago I suddenly had costochondritis out of nowhere. The doctor who told me said Mike Tyson also had it. Super helpful since I’d never gotten punched in the chest. He didn’t suggest any treatment, just said it might get better or you might have it for the rest of your life. I had it for about a year, it went away and never came back. Thank God! I always wondered if it was a residual effect from a major car accident I’d had 20 years prior? Yeah 20+30 years means I’m pretty old!

Wow that’s so helpful.

I’m traveling right now but good thing I brought my back pod with me! I’ve had this for less than 2 years now and I’ve been able to normally relieve my costochondritis pain right away. However tonight, my flare up was so bad and I’ve been struggling for 4hrs now trying to relieve my pain that my back is now sore from the back pod and back ball. (I’ve been focusing too much on my right side) I turned to watching B&B videos again and followed the steps on here! I placed the back pod on the 6 positions on both left and right side (my pain is on my ride side), and then followed it up with the side stretches with deep breaths. Wow! The pain is finally gone! 😭🙌🏼 Thank you Bob & Brad!
