I am suffering from costochondritis since 4 years. My pain is not getting relieved. I used anti-inflammatory medicines but it works only for few hours. I used medicines like durapain, omnacortil 20, etoshine 120, etc. Now these medicines don't work. I can't do any kind of physical activity like exercise due to my pain. I consulted too many doctors and went to aiims delhi too. But still, no improvement. What should I do?
