What's the matter with the pain between the two ribs?

Many patients experience pain between the ribs, which seriously affects their ability to move. Therefore, if patients experience this symptom, they need to undergo timely examinations and treatments. So what is the cause of the pain between the two ribs? Let me explain to you why this symptom occurs.

It is probably costochondritis. Don't worry. Based on your description, I think it may be related to your usual work strain or trauma, and the sharp twist or chest compression may cause acute damage to the costochondrial joint cartilage.

Guidance:

It is recommended to treat the symptoms and take painkillers, and prednisone can be added to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. When applied locally, novocaine and prednisolone can be used for blocking, and hot compresses can also be used. If you want to go to the hospital, just go to the orthopedics department or the pain department. Note: Any treatment and dietary therapy may have certain side effects. This is just a reference opinion. To be on the safe side and avoid disputes, if you want to use this method, remember to consult a specialist and use it with caution with the permission of a clinician. The safest and correct way is to go to the hospital for treatment.

Other causes of intercostal pain include:

1. Intercostal neuralgia: The pain is often distributed along the intercostals, and is most obvious in the mid-axillary line, beside the spine, and beside the sternum. It is stabbing or burning pain, and may be aggravated by turning around, taking a deep breath, or coughing.

2. Pleuritic chest pain: The pain is mostly located in the armpit or near the armpit, often accompanied by low fever, cough, shallow and rapid breathing, etc.

3. Rib lesions: The most common is costochondritis. The front end of the ribs is connected to the sternum through the costal cartilage. Costochondritis often occurs in the 2nd to 4th costal cartilages, and the local area may become thickened, raised, swollen, painful and tender, but there is no redness or swelling of the local skin.

4. Chest wall muscle spasm: The most common, often caused by prolonged incorrect posture, bending over, leaning on a table, strenuous exercise or continuous coughing, local cold, etc., which lead to chest wall muscle fatigue and spasm. The main feature is local tenderness, which can be aggravated by changes in body position and deep breathing. It is common for computer workers to suffer from chest pain due to incorrect posture.

5. Chest pain due to cervical spondylosis: When there is bone hyperplasia or cervical disc herniation in the cervical spine, chest pain may occur due to compression of the cervical nerve roots, which is sometimes similar to angina pectoris.

The above is my opinion on this issue. If the patient experiences pain in the middle of the ribs, then the patient is likely to have the above-mentioned symptoms. In this case, the patient needs to receive corresponding treatment to ensure the patient's physical health and avoid worsening of the patient's condition. Finally, I wish the patient a speedy recovery.
