Costal cartilage hurts
Last year I got covid during which I had severe coughing for 2 months post which when I walk, I get pain only at one sternocostal joint on right side which is really painfull.I got 2 MRI, CT, 2 Xray, 2 breast ultrasounds but nothing is found.
Also that joint is under breast.
Can you tell me if the cartilage is torn, worn or in case the joint is little misaligned , How long does it take to heal as I have tried laser therapy, cryotherapy, ultrasound therapy, TENS, MRT.Nothing has worked out.

Hi
From your description it seems you are suffering from Costochondritis. Its nothing but an inflammation in the cartilaginous structure connecting ur ribs and the sternum. Any viral infection can cause a inflammatory response in the body.. it can be treated but will take some time.
Next Steps
Would need a proper consultation and physio
