Something called Costochondritis

I finally found a reason and the time to start blogging!! Its coz im lying in bed since I was advised bed rest after being diagnosed with some weird ass illness that doesnt go away easy: the doctors call it Costochondritis.
In my case it was trigerred off coz of playing some backbreaking basketball for 2 hours after having taken a nice long break. Shockingly the pain din't show up immediately but took about a week before I was doing rounds of the hospital during which the docs pumped in HUGE amounts of pain killers to sedate me. Shockingly enough the doctors came to that conclusion after about 4 days...till then they were experimenting with me -- asses.
My day now involves sleeping (a lot), eating and popping pills. The sad part is that from what i've read online, this can take upto a year to heal and there's pretty much nothing to actually speed up the process.
