How to treat intercostal neuralgia well?

Patient's question:

Back and chest pain, 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:

The inflammation of the supraspinous ligament is primarily caused by an inflammatory response due to overexertion. Intercostal neuralgia can also be triggered by strain, inflammation, and other factors. It is recommended to take appropriate rest, pay attention to balancing work and rest, and try to prevent excessive bending movements as much as possible. Since the inflammation of the supraspinous ligament is localized with specific pressure points, local isolation therapy can yield significant results. Additionally, topical anti-inflammatory and blood-activating ointments or liniments can be applied, along with local physical therapy and oral anti-inflammatory pain relievers.
