I do not know if what I have would be classed as chostocondritis.  I have a
terrible time wearing anything tight around my ribs such as a brassiere or
band.  I do not experience the pain in the front of my chest but along the
side and toward the back.

this is EXACTLY what I have had for years and years. I find it almost
impossible to wear a bra, as its so painful. Even the slightest prod
anywhere above my waist down my ribcage up to my armpits is extremely
painful.  Is this costocondritis?

As a child when I used to play rough and tumble with my parents, or they
used to tickle me down my sides, I would always complain that it hurt.
