Intercostal neuritis: can be caused by pregnancy, thoracic surgery, chest wall trauma, tumors, infection (Varicella zoster / shingles) or inflammatory processes. It can be treated with NSAID's, anti-viral agents, antidepressants or anticonvulsants. Sometimes complimentary medicine techniques help (eg. acupuncture)
