What Is Tietze Syndrome?
9. Repetitive Movement
We are breathing in and out all day, every day, even when we are sleeping. Every single movement contributes a tiny amount to the wear and tear of the joints, but these minute amounts can all add up over time. The average person breathes in and out 20-30 times every single minute. Take into account the movements in days, weeks, and years, and it becomes far more significant.
In some people, the gradual wear and tear can become sufficient enough to cause inflammation of the joints. In some cases, this can cause Tietze syndrome. It is more likely to occur in older people, while active people are also going to be at a higher risk than other people are.
