Pain in the ribs or rib area, a medical condition characterized by discomfort in the chest wall.
Medical term from Latin costa (rib) combined with Greek -algia (pain), a standard formula for naming pain conditions used throughout medicine (like neuralgia or myalgia).
Doctors love combining Greek and Latin—costalgia is just 'rib' (Latin) plus 'pain' (Greek), a medical recipe: take any body part in one language, add -algia in another, and boom, you have a diagnosis.
