Rib pain, costochondritis?

[Shonla]

My left ribs are mildly painful especially when I press on them. I saw the GP who diagnosed costochondritis. But Google says that resolves within a few weeks or months, and my rib still hurts 18 months later.

Any suggestions? I can’t get any medical help, the GP just keeps saying it’s costochondritis.

I have it and it flairs up a lot. Sometimes it lasts weeks and sometimes months. I have days when it's not there but when it comes back I forget about the painfree bits.

Oh this is weird. I developed something that sounds like this about 6 mths ago. Sometimes the middle of my back hurts too, & also it now sometimes hurts on the right side. An x ray showed nothing.
GP referred me for physio appt which was today. Physio gave me a sheet to do excercises twice a day for a month to see if helps. The diagrams aren't that clear but I've tried my best!
Maybe ask for physio?

Yes, I had costichindritis for around 18 months. It was in the he top of my chest around my breast bone. It was excruciating, used to land me in A and E several times. It flares up now and again.
