<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I have ongoing pain in one specific spot in my back. It has gotten progressively worse over several years to the point where I can only do limited work at the kitchen counter or tasks like washing dishes. Over the years I have gone to my doctor when the pain becomes unbearable. He says it is an inflamation in the intercostal spaces between my ribs. The pain I live with has gradually increased over the last 3 years and is now wide spread throughout my body. What could it be? It has to be something more than inflamation.  <response>: Welcome to Chat Doctor After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from muscular pain with a tender spot in your back. Treatment of it is rest and analgesics diclofenac three times a day after meals. Muscle relaxant such as thiocolchicoside can be added Vitamin B-complex and vitamin C supplementation can be used to promote healing. I give triamcinolone injection locally at tender spot to persons coming in my clinic having similar problems with good results. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.
