I was diagnosed w/ intercoastal myalgia. I had 3 cortisone injections at one visit and 7 at another. the last set was 7 days ago and the pain can subside but all day I have been nauseous and in intolerable pain. It is located under my ribcage, goes from front to back.
hithank you for providing the brief history of you.As you are having inter costal myalgia and already taken the cortisonecortisone, now you need to focus on the costal breathing exercises to improve the muscle strength of the intercostal muscles. the weakness in the intercostal muscle can be due to any of the past lung pathology which needs an assessment as well.Also, in my clinical practice most cases with intercostal muscle spasm are treated with therapeutic ultrasound therapy and exercises. Majority responds well.RegardsJay Indravadan Patel
