Intercostal neuralgia: how to relieve pain
author: doctor Maslak AA Very often if there is pain in the chest, first of all think about heart problems and turn to the cardiologist. However, it is not uncommon that the matter is not in the heart, but in the intercostal nerves, which for some reason are compressed and irritated either by a pathologically altered spine or by strained muscles. There may be several reasons for this. First of all, it is degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the spine, such as: osteochondrosis, in which the intervertebral disc protrudes and squeezes the nerve roots emerging from the spinal cord; scoliosis, spondylosis, spondylarthrosis, altering the structure of the vertebrae, which also leads to infringement of the roots. The strained muscles of the back and ribs, too, sometimes squeeze nerves. The case may even be in a recent trauma or hypothermia. How is it manifested?The disease manifests itself mainly by the surrounding pain in the chest. Pain of moderate or high intensity. It increases with coughing, deep inhalation and exhalation, sharp slopes and bends. It is worth noting that with angina, the relationship of pain with changes in body position is not traced. Nitroglycerin also does not help with pain relief. But do not do differential diagnosis yourself, because such pain can be a manifestation of not only intercostal neuralgia and angina, but also other diseases, such as diseases of the stomach, kidneys and even oncology. So for the help it is better to address to the expert. If the intercostal neuralgia in the child , then, respectively, to the pediatrician. How to relieve pain?If the pain is very troubling, and it is not possible to reach the doctor while it is possible, then you can remove it yourself. First of all, you should use preparations of local action: ointments, creams. Based on bee and snake venom, they improve microcirculation, relieve swelling and pain. In addition, gels with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Fastum gel, Finalgon, Naise gel, Voltaren Emulgel are used. In addition to analgesic action, they have a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect. If they also had no effect, then one can turn to tableted forms of NSAIDs. But, like all medications, they have a number of contraindications. It is not desirable to use them if there are stomach problems, such as gastritis or ulcers, and there are kidney diseases. Among other things, they reduce blood clotting. Long-term use is also not recommended. A maximum of two weeks. If you use NSAIDs, then only those that have minimal side effects, such as Movalis (Meloxicam), Celecoxib, Nise. These drugs are a new generation, they do not affect healthy tissues. Since the causes of pain in intercostal neuralgia may be tight, spasmodic muscles that squeeze the nerve roots, then with the NSAIDs for relieving pain, muscle relaxants are used: Miodocalm, Sirdalud, Baclofen. They are released in both tablets and ampoules.

One tip I found to "find" your diaphragm:
Breathe without moving your belly and your chest, breathe slowly, you are gonna feel your diaphragm more easily and the next time you breathe it's gonna be easier to find it without breathing slowly.

Emily Triner:
Hi I’ve damaged the top part of my chest area,the front of my ribs. Around 12 weeks ago. The doctor says it is intercostal muscle strain. Lying on my back to attempt your first exercise, the area really hurts just lying on my back, without attempting the breathing. Is this normal ? Should I still attempt to do the first exercise? Many thanks
