Intercostal neuralgi: Pain in the posterior thoracic area that is associated with respiration, is most likely intercostal neuralgia. This is pain associated with the nerve under each rib. The pain is usually sharp and stabbing. It may radiate toward the front. See an interventional pain specialist along with a physical therapist skilled in rib mobilization techniques.
