Patient's question:
This left and right often feel pain in the intercostal muscles, don't want to go to the hospital, will intercostal neuralgia heal by itself?Doctor's answer:
Intercostal neuralgia pain and poor rest, muscle hyper-tension from intense exercise, and over-fatigue are related. If medication is not used, a complete recovery is relatively slow, and it is easy to leave behind sequelae. It is best to consult a doctor for medication to aid recovery. At home, use hot water bags for heat therapy to alleviate pain. Gentle massage can also improve blood circulation in the affected area, which is beneficial for pain relief. Pay attention to preventing cold exposure and also avoid getting cold.
