Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Costochondritis can cause significant pain in the back.

I recommend to treat the pain with noninflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 40 mg three times a day.

I also recommend to use a noninflammatory cream for local application such as Voltaren cream.

I suggest to use warm compresses for temporarily relief.

Gentle stretching exercises may also be helpful.
