Patient's question:
The other day, I had a health check-up, and the doctor said I have intercostal neuralgia, but I don't feel anything. What are the clinical manifestations of intercostal neuralgia?Doctor's answer:
Recurrent intercostal neuralgia primarily needs to be confirmed through symptoms. The main symptoms of intercostal neuralgia are recurring muscle pain in the intercostal area, without a history of recent trauma, and careful examination does not reveal any rib fractures or other conditions. If intercostal neuralgia occurs, treatment mainly involves neurotrophic drugs and blood-activating drugs based on the specific situation.
