strained back rib? help!
2cd or third rib from the bottom, left side.
Stop dead spasms with slightest twist, forward lead and certain extensions of the arms. (Not to mention laughs, coughs, slump …) Some difficulty breathing–acute during a spasm.
Swelling but no protrusion or discoloration. 50 years old, moderately athletic. 5’10” 178.
Happened before but short duration and not quite so severe.
What is it and what should I do? Thank you,billy

I sometimes have back “rib pain” spasms which lasts about 7 to 10 daysI have tried ice heat ibprophen muscle relax etc.Nothing but time seems to work. Very uncomforable to say the least. Most of the time they come from twisting (excecises or dance)or just twisting around in carIs there a surgery to “release this muscle” at this point I would even go through surgery If I knew it would help in the long run Faith
