I have been dealing with costrochondritus for about 10 years. It comes and goes some days it is gone and then it is back again for no apparent reason. I have had all the tests for my heart and everything is ok. My pain is usually dull but sometimes I get a sharp pain. It does not hurt when I breath deeply just if you push on the rib cage. Most of the time it is just dull and makes me very nervous and depressed. I have learned to try not to think about it and sometimes that works if I am doing something I enjoy or with other people. I take ibuprofen but that does not always take all the pain away. It always worries me that there is something wrong with my heart but the cardiologist says it is ok. I am also getting fed up.

Clinical Trials


Cords registry

CoRDS, or the Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford, is based at Sanford Research in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It provides researchers with a centralized, international patient registry for all rare diseases. This program allows patients and researchers to connect as easily as possible to help advance treatments and cures for rare diseases. The CoRDS team works with patient advocacy groups, individuals and researchers to help in the advancement of research in over 7,000 rare diseases. The registry is free for patients to enroll and researchers to access.

Enrolling is easy.

  1. Complete the screening form.
  2. Review the informed consent.
  3. Answer the permission and data sharing questions.

After these steps, the enrollment process is complete. All other questions are voluntary. However, these questions are important to patients and their families to create awareness as well as to researchers to study rare diseases. This is why we ask our participants to update their information annually or anytime changes to their information occur.

Researchers can contact CoRDS to determine if the registry contains participants with the rare disease they are researching. If the researcher determines there is a sufficient number of participants or data on the rare disease of interest within the registry, the researcher can apply for access. Upon approval from the CoRDS Scientific Advisory Board, CoRDS staff will reach out to participants on behalf of the researcher. It is then up to the participant to determine if they would like to join the study.

Visit sanfordresearch.org/CoRDS to enroll.
