A member asked:
Been having these sharp stabbing pain in ribs on right side. how do you get rid of this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain specialist: This is most likely an intercostal neuralgia, or irritation of the nerve associated with each rib. A qualified pain management specialist should evaluate you to assess the condition. Treatment consists of intercoatal nerve block coupled with rib mobilization techniques to restore proper rib motion.
