I was just wondering if anyone has any tips for lossening up a tight chest due to costochondritis and whether the olbas oil actually works.

I have severe costocondritis from a bad fall so just using heating pad, Aleve, and following an anti inflammatory diet

Have tried Topricin and SynthaFlex but really did not feel any different 

It has been four weeks since the accident and I would say time is the best healer.

i will look up your oil..not familiar with it

Hi Zoe,..I started using Olbas Oil only about a week ago after reading about it in here and I have found it really helps to relax your chest and is especially good at night. I 'm also taking Cod Liver Oil with Glucosamine Sulphate capsules which are for healthy cartalige function. Already After a week my chest pain has started to lessen(fingers crossed it continues to). Hope you find this info useful.

Hi Zoe, no problem..I have had this for a couple of months now and wanted to try anything to help deal with the pain rather than keep taking paracetamol and ibuprofen. Some days are better than others but I feel more positive since joining this forum and hearing about other people dealing with this condition. I hope you will be feeling better soon too.

Hi, after serveras months i finally went to see my chiropractor. It's painful but he gets my rib cage moving again. He says it takes around 3 months to fix. Been there twice a week. Gives me palpitations, but I accept that, I am slowly getting better, I think...
