I'm not sure this has anything to do with this, but, I rifed for Babs, #20 and #27 last night, took a sauna, and an oxygen bath. I felt pretty good afterward.

Possibly costcochondritis and it is no fun - sometimes very painful.

I went to the ER several years ago 3:00 a.m. in the morning as my husband thought I wa having a heart attack. It was diagnosed as Chest Wall Pain! (but was the other side and a little different then)
I'm looking at Google now!
VERY INTERESTING!
THANK YOU!

Most likely it is inflamed cartilege around bones in chest region. I have it too .
I take heavy duty ibuprofen and aleve as soon as it starts ( 4-6 ibuprofen ) and also olive leaf extract for viruses , which are the suspected cause .
Sometimes the pain goes all the way from chest thru my back .
You could also consider colloidal silver and big doses of garlic . My doc says it is inflamed from bacteria or viruses, probably viruses. Sometimes it can become VERY intense and long lasting for me , so I am now aggressive when it starts - using garlic, silver , anti inflammatories.
I just started serra peptase enzyme for inflammation. I am hoping it will decrease the incidents of costochondritis . It helps a lot of people with all forms of inflammation .
Unfortunately , I am really hexing with it . I found out it is supposed to destroy lyme biofilm . It feels like it does !
Good luck .

Have had this from chest wall pain, from asthma (which I didn't know I had), and from bronchitis/pneumonia.
Unfortunately, I never found much that helped with the chest wall pain - ibuprofen, heat, rest, whatever, none of it really helped.

I have had a few times when it was so painful that the doc gave me ultram without asking . I have also had steroids and they HELPED!
When I have a bad episode, for some reason I feel weak all over and even standing upright is taxing . I do not understand that , but I do believe there is infection involved - viral or fungal . That is why heavy ibuprofen ( like that used in a back injury ) and olive leaf seem to help. It is sometimes VERY painful and exhausting .
Other good antiinfectives that his a variety of pathogens , colloidal silver and garlic . Garlic works best for me when it is fresh and crushed up and spoooned into some hummus , then washed down .
