What causes costochondritis? Is there anything that aggravates it (like exercise or diet), or is it possibly viral?



I am unaware of any particular diet causing worsening of costochondritis. On the contrary, it is known that fish oilscan have a degree of antiinflammation effect. Theoretically they could be of some benefit. This effect is probably minor, however.
