Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have this acute pain mainly on the right rib area and there is apparent inflammation too. I saw a doctor and she told me it is condylitis of the ribs. this is the first time I come upon such a diagnosis. I would like to know more about the condition, management as well as any other information that i may need to know. Is this going to be something I have to live with? I am 62 yrs old, female, 5ft tall and 70kg. thank you
Your symptoms seem to be related to costochondritis. I suggest using OTC medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. Cold compresses can also be helpful in relieving the pain.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
