10 Symptoms of Costochondritis

Symptom #4: Increased Pain When Moving
Many aches and pains will persist no matter how still you may be. You can sometimes be lying still in bed and still be in agony from whatever it is that is hurting you. With costochondritis, though, you are likely to find that the pain will appear, or increase, when you are moving.
Because the condition affects the rib cage, costochondritis is likely to hurt more when you move your upper torso. This can lead to patients trying to keep as still as possible in order to avoid the pain. While pains are not uncommon, they should not last for too long so you should arrange to speak with a doctor if they persist.
