The specific details of your surgery will depend on various factors, including your cancer stage and overall health. It’s important to consult …
0:03 good morning today we’ll talk about
0:12 two conditions that are encountered more
0:16 than you think in our clinical practice
0:18 but are often misdiagnosed these are
0:22 conditions that cause non-specific chest
0:25 pain and are costochondritis and
0:28 sleeping rib syndrome so the first
0:30 question is are they the same thing and
0:33 the answer is no there are two different
0:34 things costochondritis is an
0:37 inflammation of the cartilage that joins
0:39 the Bony part of the rib to the sternum
0:43 was
0:48 was sleeping rib syndrome is caused by
0:51 misalignment of the ribs in the bottom
0:55 part of the rib cage
1:03 the second question is argue treat
1:08 this condition and
1:09 [Music]
1:11 in case of costochondritis this can be
1:14 caused and you know by repeated strain
1:17 injury and you just need to take some
1:20 normal
1:23 anti-inflammatory drug like ibuprofen
1:25 and rest for a little while in case of
1:29 sleeping rib syndrome then
1:32 you can ask a chiropractor for some
1:35 manipulation or in certain cases surgery
1:38 is necessary to realign the rib or
1:43 removing the poking part of the rib
1:46 the other question that I’m asked quite
1:48 often is are you diagnosed
1:51 this to condition in the case of
1:53 costochondritis there is a much you can
1:55 do mostly is a clinical diagnosis and so
1:58 unfortunately is the case of sleeping
2:01 rib syndrome
2:02 I had a lot of patients that came to me
2:04 with numerous investigation chest XA CTE
2:08 MRI of the chest and they are all pretty
2:11 much normal one maneuver that is quite
2:14 characteristic of sleeping cream
2:16 syndrome is called the hooking maneuver
2:18 when you actually hook the bottom part
2:21 of the rib cage and you reproduce the
2:23 pain that patient experience
2:28 can the two condition be confused with
2:31 other medical
2:33 condition and the husband is yes in case
2:36 of costochondritis
2:39 it’s always mistaken for
2:42 either heart attack or
2:45 animatorics but the type of pain is a
2:47 little bit different in case of sleeping
2:49 grip syndrome there are patients that
2:51 report this to be
2:54 um like
2:55 gastric reflux or when he’s on the right
2:59 side
3:00 gallbladder problems but actually a
3:03 careful history taking should make the
3:07 diagnosis a little bit clearer
3:11 I hope this is going to be informative
3:13 enough for you as usual if you have any
3:16 doubts please do get in touch
