Patient's question:
These past few days, I've been feeling a sharp pain in my intercostal nerves and want to go to the hospital for a definitive diagnosis. How can the diagnosis of intercostal neuralgia be differentiated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described: inner nerve pain. Firstly, it manifests as nerve pain, with relatively sharp pain that may suddenly recur and possibly have a reflex sensation. It is generally relatively superficial. Then, if this is the case, let's look at the localization. Generally, intercostal neuralgia follows the course of the intercostal nerves, so it can basically be inferred from this aspect.
