The Mayo Clinic websites are reliable, and they are way better than having no references! But ideally, a Wikipedia article will use the medical literature ( WP:MEDRS) to derive its own content. Biosthmors ( talk) 19:14, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
FOOTNOTE: If you are female, and you find yourself having the symptoms described for costochondritis together with sharp pain in the mid-back get yourself to an Emergency Room immediately. This is one of the rarely caught symptoms of a Myocardial Infarction in women, and can be fatal. I know. This just happened to me and my Internist dismissed it as costochondritis and a spine problem, 3 days later I had a full-blown MI (heart attack). An EKG would have caught this if she had listened.

Besides, I can't see any citations for this part of the first sentence of the article.
Tietze syndrome is a rare cause of chest pain. The condition was first described by Tietze in 1921 as a benign, nonsuppurative painful swelling of the superior chondrosternal joints. Costochondritis, a differential diagnosis for Tietze syndrome, characterized by painful, tender, but nonswollen chondrosternal joints, is more common. Although these conditions are different, they are commonly mistaken for the same.

Hi. I haven't done this before, so please bear with me. The bot has reverted three changes I added to the 'Costochondritis' (CC) page. Fair enough that it's reverted the YouTube external link - wasn't sure about that myself but it's a good overview of the New Zealand manual physiotherapy standard view of CC. However the two changes within the body of the article are supported by research, admittedly limited, and I feel they should stand as representing a reason for CC and hence a logical treatment pathway which is not otherwise well disseminated. I do think this is important. The NZ view which I am espousing as an origin for most CC is the only, repeat only, explanation for such specific pain and inflammation on the sternocostal articulations. No systemic origin accounts for this. I'm happy to discuss. I lecture in this area to medical conferences; have 30 years' experience as a New Zealand manual physiotherapist.

The § Differential diagnosis section needs more work. At present, it lists and links a whole lot of other conditions that may present with similar symptoms. However, it fails to describe how these diagnoses are differentiated. yoyo ( talk) 21:12, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello all, I'm a new editor who is trying to breathe some life into some articles that are outdated. Costochondritis is the first article on my list! I will be doing my best to retain as much information as possible while bringing it up to date with recent and reliable information. There are several references used throughout the article that are extremely old, and several that do not meet the WP:MEDRS guidelines from what I can see. If there are any concerns regarding my process, please let me know. Everything is new to me, so this is a learning experience! Jebbles ( talk) 13:36, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
I will be editing the entire article in order to get it to GA. This may take quite a bit of time as I am very busy, but I will do my best. No major changes will be made by me that I cannot complete in a timely manner, as to not leave the article mid-construction. Most of my work will revolve around fixing up the citations, making sure everything is amply cited, and content changes. Hopefully, GAN will follow my completion of my edits, assuming I can get the content to that level, which I should being that this is a mid-importance article with plenty of research on it. Again, I am very busy, so I do not expect to complete the edits for months to come, if not into the summer.

The Presentation section is self-contradictory about radiating pain -- in the first paragraph it says it may be accompanied by radiating pain, while in the third paragraph it says radiating pain is unrelated. Both have sources and I'm not sure which is more reliable. Wantsarevolution ( talk) 15:15, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
