- Costochondritis. Nearly unpronounceable, that's the name of
- the mystery ailment that sent MICHAEL JACKSON to the hospital
- with chest pains. The inflammation of cartilage in the front
- part of the ribs, said the doctor who treated the singer, "can
- be caused by overexertion and stress." Early last week Jackson
- collapsed at his Los Angeles home after a two-hour dance
- workout. Besides being under pressure to finish his new album
- -- the first since 1987's megahit Bad -- Jackson, 31, has had
- some recent personal traumas, including the deaths of his
- grandmother and his close friend Sammy Davis Jr.
