Intercostal muscle inflammation: Intercostal muscle inflammation is inflammation of the muscle tissue near the ribs, which can be caused by muscle overuse, strains, muscle sprains, or poor posture. In this case, the pain may worsen with muscle movement or touch.

Costochondritis: Costochondritis is inflammation of the cartilage tissue that connects the ribs to the sternum, which can be caused by trauma, infection, or inflammation around the ribs. Costochondritis can cause chest pain, especially when taking deep breaths, coughing, or moving.

Intercostal neuralgia: Intercostal neuralgia is when the nerves around the ribs are damaged or compressed, causing pain and discomfort. The pain may be sharp, tingling, or dull and may radiate to the back or abdomen.

Internal Organs: The pain may not be directly caused by the ribs themselves, but from the chest or abdominal internal organs, such as lung infections, liver diseases, stomach ulcers, etc. In this case, the pain may be transmitted to the rib area.

It is mostly manifested as anterior chest pain, sometimes mild and sometimes severe, and will be aggravated with rolling over coughing, deep breathing, and upper limb movement.

Suggestion: If there are similar symptoms mentioned above, you can go to the hospital first: X-ray, CT and other examinations to confirm the diagnosis.

2. Usually we have rib pain after playing or accidentally hitting the chest, which may be caused by rib fractures. It often occurs in middle-aged and elderly people with osteoporosis, and fractures are caused by direct or indirect force of external force. Local pain in the rib area is the most obvious symptom of a rib fracture and is worse with movements such as coughing, taking deep breaths, or turning the body.

Suggestion: If the chest collision causes local pain in the ribs, it must be taken seriously, and you can first go to the hospital for chest X-ray, CT and other detailed examinations to confirm the diagnosis.

3. Rib pain can also be considered as intercostal neuralgia, there are two types: secondary and primary, intercostal neuralgia refers to the recurrence of pain in one or several intercostal parts, and there is episodic aggravation; It is usually related to viral infection, mechanical injury and foreign body compression. It usually appears in the intercostal part of the chest and is mainly of a stabbing or burning painful nature.

Suggestion: Generally, the main cause of intercostal neuralgia should be identified before **, and then appropriate methods should be adopted**; Generally, medications, physiotherapy, acupuncture, massage, etc. can be used.

4. When we cough due to certain factors such as upper respiratory tract infection and bronchitis, when we cough hard, the lungs contract and expand violently to rub against the ribs, causing pain. Or when you cough hard, the air pressure in the chest changes and hits the pleura, diaphragm, and intercostal muscles, causing pain in the ribs.

Suggestion: Cough in time, after the cough stops, the rib pain will disappear naturally.

This condition is considered to be a manifestation of intercostal neuralgia and is usually caused by overexertion. Guidance: It is recommended that you usually pay attention to rest, do not stay up late, you can eat a little vitamin B1 and adenosine B12, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, avoid fatigue, exercise properly, and enhance resistance.

It is more common in intercostal neuralgia, and angina pectoris caused by insufficient blood supply to the myocardium is also considered if it is on the left side. There are also uncommon tuberculosis that can also cause chest pain, but there are other symptoms, such as low-grade fever in the afternoon, coughing up blood, night sweats, etc., and then there is CA pain, which can also cause chest pain.

Costochondritis, also known as anterior chest wall syndrome, is the anterior chest.

The common cause of pain, because the pain site is in the chest, is easily confused with angina, and patients often mistakenly believe that they have coronary heart disease, ** generally related to trauma, in people carrying heavy objects.

It is caused by acute damage to the thoracic-costal articular cartilage due to rapid torsion or chest compression, or viral infection caused by chronic strain or cold and flu, resulting in edema and thickening of the thoracic-costal articular cartilage. or costochondral dystrophy, thoracocostal joint inflammation, myofasciitis. Its clinical manifestations are anterior chest pain, mostly soreness and pain, acute or slow onset, sometimes mild and sometimes severe, can be aggravated by turning over and coughing, deep breathing, upper limb activities, sometimes radiating to the upper limbs, and if the tenderness at the 2-5 costal cartilage is not timely and thorough, there is a tendency to reverse.

In clinical practice, it should be distinguished from coronary heart disease, angina, tuberculosis pleurisy and other diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the pain of costochondritis spreads to the chest and flanks, and the upper arm is qi stagnation;

Local bulge, tenderness is obvious, and the pain point is fixed and unmovable, which is blood stasis. Qi stagnation and blood stasis, wind and heat invade the meridians, poison and heat are blazing, and qi and blood cannot be contained.

If it doesn't work, it hurts. **: Local hot compress physiotherapy, amber paste paste, external application of traditional Chinese medicine elusion powder or three-color dressing, internal consumption of blood circulation and stasis decoction, Zuogui pill.
