A member asked:
Is it common for chest contusion pain to go away after 3 months, then come back after a couple of weeks of no pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rib pain: Often trauma to the ribs or simply coughing hard or lifting something the wrong way may cause the little muscles between the ribs to spasm and may misalign their connection to the spine or sternum. If the joint is not aligned again it may cause recurrent pain. I would suggest seeing someone such as an osteopathic doctor who manipulates, or a chiropractor or physical therapist.
