costochondritis is inflammation of the joints of the rib cage.(An inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone). pain is reproducible with palpation, worse with movement and can be sharp in character. most importantly cardio / pulmonary findings will be negative.

nikhilredd  mostly u should differentiate between a aortic aneurysm since the pain is radiating backwards but always remember that it is not affected by palpation which is dead giveaway for the costochondritis +
