Answers:
don't tire yourself out as the cause of this is physical strain or minor injury.
But i would consult a doctor for more accurate info.Health Question & Answer

Well, you could still exercise, but you'll want to avoid anything that strains the inflamed area. So, cardio and lower body work might be OK, but you'll want to stay away from pretty much any upper body work. I'd suggest gentle exercise such as walking or cycling.

also, if you're doing cardio, heavy breathing may cause you pain and additional inflamation. Listen to your body and stop if you have pain. Pushing through it will just delay your healing, so please take it easy.Health Question & Answer

If you are in pain then you won't be able to and if you are not in pain then probably the costochondtritis has gone. It can't be that bad if you want to exercise.Health Question & Answer
