Dealing with Intense Chest Pain from Costochondritis

Hi all, I’m really struggling with intense chest pain due to Costochondritis (my rib cartilage is really angry and inflamed) and found out 2 of my ribs are dislocated/separated from the cartilage. It hurts so much and all any Dr says is take Advil which my stomach can’t tolerate. Anyone else deal with this? Ideas to manage it?

TIGER BALM! My costrocondritis has been REALLY bad lately, & any time i wear a bra it flares up super bad. Tiger balm is the only thing that I have found to numb the pain!
