Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of intercostal neuralgia?Doctor's answer:
Intercostal neuralgia is a common phenomenon in life. The symptoms usually include pain, sharp pain, or burning pain along the ribs. This condition is generally caused by improper posture, frequent overexertion, or degenerative inflammation of the thoracic vertebrae. It may also be due to aseptic inflammation. It is recommended to consult a doctor and take some pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory medications for treatment.
