Hi, Maureen:

Costochondritis is ribcage pain and very common in AS. I had it to the max until about a year on NSD and antibiotics. It usually has a bias to one side; most AS pains are asymmetrical, unlike RA and FM.

This pain can be miserable, and I remember just a slight touch on my sternum caused very shap pain, eventually just breathing hurt.

Good luck with it,
John
