A friend of mine has it...
Costochondritis usually goes away on its own. Try an anti-inflammatory medicine to relieve the pain. Heat/Cold compresses may also help.
Here are some support forums...

I have a doctor friend who had Costochondritis... Its chest pains. He took a supplement marketed by an MLM company which I introduced him to. You can write me at jade_flowershop@yahoo.com if you want to know the brand.
