Condition analysis: Intercostal neuralgia refers to chronic non-specific inflammation that occurs in the costal cartilage, also known as non-suppurative intercostal neuralgia. It can lead to costal cartilage hyperplasia. The cause is unknown and is generally believed to be related to fatigue, mental stress, stress, depression or trauma. It is related to acute damage to the sternocostal joint cartilage caused by people carrying heavy objects, sharp twisting, or chest compression, or due to chronic strain or viral infection caused by colds. The basic pathological changes are edema and thickening of the sternocostal articular cartilage and a sterile inflammatory reaction. Suggestions: You can use Tongning tablets and vitamin B1 tablets for treatment. If necessary, you can go to the pain department for small acupuncture treatment.
