Dr. George Arcos answered

Specializes in Pain Management

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.
