Try for Tietzes...

(2 excerpts below from UK to assist)

Tietzes syndrome cure (hopefully) Posted over a year ago Have suffered for years like most of you on this forum i wont bore you with the details e.r, codiene, steriod shots etc... What i have found what works for me is calcium orotate, yes it is expensive but it has given me my life back and compared to the amount of months i have to have off work when i get an attack it's worth it really, two years ago i was ready to kill myself as i could no longer live with the pain but this has changed my life i'm not saying i dont get the odd twinges because i do, but then i increase the dose for a few days and the pains die back down. It is not an instant cure you have to give it a few weeks to get into the cartilage, Anyway go try what do you have to lose, would love to know if it works for other people too.

Tietze Syndrome

Posted over a year ago

I have a possible treatment for anyone with Tietze Syndrome to try. I had it for about 10 months and was in severe pain. I couldn't even breath deeply or sneeze, or pick things up without extreme pain. I also had a lot of inflammation and upper back pain.

I came to realize that my poor posture was causing the problem after many consultations with doctors, physiotherapists and massage therapists. I have very rounded shoulders.

You can test to see if you have rounded shoulders by standing with your arms loosely at your side. If your thumbs hang in toward your thighs, then you have rounded shoulders. If you thumbs hang forward then your posture is much better.

My rounded shoulders are caused by very tight chest muscles and weak upper back muscles.

The first thing I had to do toward my healing process was stretch my chest muscles so that they were not always pulling my shoulders in, and also strengthen my upper back muscles so that they would automatically pull my shoulders back more naturally.

I also realized that I sleep on my side at night and hug my arms into my chest so I had to train myself to sleep on my back so that gravity could help my chest relax instead of being tensed up at night.

Stretches to help loosen the chest:

Lie on a physio roller lengthwise with the roller going vertically from your head to your lower back.

Start with your arms down by your sides and slowly raise them straight up over your head until they touch the floor behind you (when I first started I couldn't even come close to touching the floor behind my head because my shoulders were so tight, but over time I loosened up and could touch the floor)

Also try lying the same way on the roller and bring the arms up to the sides of your body kind of like you are making a snow angel all the way to the top of the head keeping arms straight.

I could not believe how much these exercises helped me to loosen my chest muscles and over a few weeks of doing these a few times daily, the pain started to go away.

Now whenever I feel a twinge in my chest, I know that I am getting tight in my chest and I need to keep up the stretches. It really helps. Doing upper back strengthening exercises with weights really helps too.

I don't know if this will work for everyone, but give it some time, it is a very simple solution and is definitely worth a try because I know how depressing the pain can be and now I have been pain free for over a year.

I know it probably seems too simple to work, but it worked for me

Anterior knee pain is pain that occurs at the front and center of the knee. It refers to many different problems, including:
Chondromalacia of the patella -- the softening and breakdown of the tissue (cartilage) on the underside of the kneecap (patella)
Runner's knee (sometimes called patellar tendinitis)
Causes
Your kneecap (patella) sits over the front of your knee joint. As you bend or straighten your knee, the underside of the patella glides over the bones that make up the knee.
Strong tendons help attach the kneecap to the bones and muscles that surround the knee. These tendons are called:
The patellar tendon (where the kneecap attaches to the shin bone)
The quadriceps tendon (where the thigh muscles attach to the top of the kneecap)
Anterior knee pain begins when the kneecap does not move properly and rubs against the lower part of the thigh bone. This may occur because:
The kneecap is in an abnormal position (also called poor alignment of the patellofemoral joint)
There is tightness or weakness of the muscles on the front and back of your thigh
You are doing too much activity that places extra stress on the kneecap (such as running, jumping or twisting, skiing, or playing soccer)
You have flat feet
Anterior knee pain is more common in:
People who are overweight
People who have had a dislocation, fracture, or other injury to the kneecap
Runners, jumpers, skiers, bicyclists, and soccer players who exercise often
Teenagers and healthy young adults, more often girls
Other possible causes of anterior knee pain include:
Arthritis
Pinching of the inner lining of the knee during movement (called synovial impingement or plica syndrome)
Symptoms
Anterior knee pain is a dull, aching pain that is most often felt:
Behind the kneecap (patella)
Below the kneecap
On the sides of the kneecap
One common symptom is a grating or grinding sensation when the knee is flexed (when the ankle is brought closer to the back of the thigh).
Symptoms may be more noticeable with:
Deep knee bends
Going down stairs
Running downhill
Standing up after sitting for awhile
Exams and Tests
The health care provider will perform a physical examination. The knee may be tender and mildly swollen, and the kneecap may not be perfectly lined up with the thigh bone (femur).
When you flex your knee, you may feel a grinding sensation below the kneecap. Pressing the kneecap when the knee is straightening out may be painful.
X-rays are usually normal, although a special x-ray view of the kneecap may show signs of arthritis or tilting.
MRI scans are rarely needed.
Treatment
Resting the knee for a short period of time and taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin may help relieve pain.
Other treatments or self-care for anterior knee pain include:
Changing the way you exercise
Learning and performing exercises to both strengthen and stretch the quadriceps and hamstring muscles
Losing weight (if you need to)
Special shoe inserts and support devices (orthotics -- for people with flat feet)
Taping to realign the kneecap
Wearing the correct running or sports shoes
Surgery for pain behind the kneecap (anterior knee pain) is rarely needed. During the surgery:
Kneecap cartilage that has been damaged may be removed.
Changes may be made to the tendons to help the kneecap move more evenly.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Anterior knee pain often improves with a change in activity, exercise therapy, and the use of NSAIDs.
Possible Complications

When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have symptoms of this disorder.
