[net.med] Corrected Costochondritis Info Request

Sorry if you've already seen a garbled version of this.
The software glitched.  
I cancelled the result, but perhaps not quickly enough.


Does anyone have any information on costochondritis ?
I know that it is supposed to be an inflammation of joints in the chest.
What causes it ?  
Is there a cure or an effective treatment ?
Aspirin doesn't help much.
Indocin helps a little, but is not desirable as a long term solution.
Please reply by mail to

Thank you.
