I came down with Costochondritis 5 years ago. I found many who suffer with this disorder. For some people this disorder goes away. For others, like myself, it can be a life long chronic condition. I don't have the strength to project my voice nor the breath to sustain.
Costochondritis (kos-toe-kon-DRY-tis) is an inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone (sternum). Pain caused by costochondritis might mimic that of a heart attack or other heart conditions. Costochondritis is sometimes known as chest wall pain. For some people this can go away in a few months and some people, like myself, it can go on for years. When the pain is very bad in my sternum it makes breathing a challenge. My pain level is about at a 5-6 everyday which is enough to keep me short of breath at times rendering singing very difficult to do.
