Patient's question:
Chest and back pain. The hospital examination said: supraspinous ligamentitis and intercostal neuralgia. Taking Brufen has no effect. What kind of help is needed: How to treat?Doctor's answer:
Supraspinous ligamentitis is primarily caused by inflammation resulting from overexertion. Intercostal neuralgia can also be triggered by strain, inflammation, and other factors. It is recommended to rest appropriately, pay attention to balancing work and rest, and try to avoid excessive bending movements as much as possible. Since supraspinous ligamentitis is localized in its inflammation site with specific pressure points, local isolation therapy can yield significant results. Additionally, topical anti-inflammatory and blood-activating ointments or creams can be applied, along with local physical therapy and oral anti-inflammatory pain relievers.
