i have been suffering from costochondritis since about 2 weeks . I wanted to let you know that I found the supplement Pycnogenol to be very helpful in relieving my pain and inflammation.
I take 3 capsules a day, 50 mg each, I space them 6 hours apart. Now when i go somewhere I can feel confident that i will not be hit by unbearable pain in the middle of something.
I am pregnant and I did some research on pycnogenol, although it has not been studied extensively it appears to be probably safe enough for pregnant women. i would avoid it in the 1st trimester though.
