costochondritis

Why should you not be taking Tylenol?

You could possibly consider LDN.

Have you tried a heating pad on your chest, this helps some people. Tylenol is ok to take, it's the NSAIDS that you need to avoid.

Hope you get some relief.

I'll definitely try a heating pad. I sometimes get it once a couple months. It usually lasts a couple of days or longer if I don't take anything for it. The tylenol helps as well.

My primary care physician was the one that told me it was common for people with UC. When I asked my GI doc, she felt there was no connection between the two.

I had costochondritis when I had an undiagnosed severe vit D deficiency (I had UC but back in those days I wasn't routinely tested for vit D). The costochondritis resolved when I sorted out the vit D deficiency which was a relief as it was extremely painful.
