Suffering Chronic Rib Pains? Here's What You Need to Do!

#ribpain #chronic
So many suffer rib pains in the back, sides and front of chest after physical accidents to repetitive injuries to emotional stress locks.
I call them Nerve Locks in the muscles' nerves when the pains last longer than it should - especially after any trauma when the healing phase is complete.
Here are some tips to help you manage these pains better and hopefully recover.

So useful and havent heard about this before. Thank you so much for making this video

[@paulmaloney2383]

I have been going to my massage therapist for this issue and he has been giving me very aggressive massages, which I thought was good for the condition but a day later my it got worse, so am glad I stumbled upon this video now I will avoid the aggressive massages

[@ninodaghost]

Yes this was the video I needed

[@betw33nthebars]

mainly, thank you for understanding my pain, this video somehow got me crying real hard. got this pain at 17, I‘m now 20 and it just keeps getting worse, it feels like deep wounds in my torso. the first two years it just hurt on movement or laying down, now the pain never goes away and just hurts more with every breath in. doctors tell me to „just work out“ but nothing helps, now I‘m 3 years in and afraid it‘ll never leave. honestly, the worst part about it is the mental distress it‘s causing me.

[@miahconnell23]

It’s DEFINITELY disheartening and very uncool when doctors are dismissive. Have you had an MRI ? What country are you in ? (I’m not a doctor, I’m just a curious guy) (do you speak a second language ? I ask b/c traveling for certain doctors can be good)

[@andreacrop4997]

Hello, my name is Andrea, I send you a greeting from Italy. I have been suffering from stitches in my sternum / ribs for 8 years. The pain comes and goes, maybe I'm fine for 2 months, and then bad for 1 day.. then fine for another 3 months. Totally random. The problem is precisely the unpredictability of pain. I agree with you on the psychological aspect. it is a problem that conditions life, it depresses you, it makes you think about death. My advice is to bear the pain in the acute phase and get stings or use painkillers. In the quieter months go to a physiotherapist / osteopath and free the vertebrae, all of them!! The real problem comes from there... Hold on!!

[@webmasterepm]

How is ur pain now

[@jr296]

Thank you for the video. I have had this issue for 7 years since I had mono and a bad cough for 7 months. The pain is the worst when I lie flat and especially if I have weight on my chest. I have periods of remission where it doesn't bother me as much but anytime I try to add weightlifting back into my routine the pain spikes up 24/7 for months at a time. Going to look for someone that does acupuncture.

Hi and thanks for a great video. Im getting a sharp stabbing like pain from the floating rib radiating across the rib cage from back to front. It only happens after waking in the morning and lasts about an hour. The sharp pain is followed by spasms or cramping of the QL muscle. Ive been seeing physio/chiro for 2 months now and little improvement. MRI shows mild kyphosis but nothing structural. Any help much appreciated. Regards...

[@scotthoward4836]

I suffer from this it feels as if I'm stuck down through the right side thoracic spine and my lats shoulder neck hip and internal abdominals feel constantly contracted. My left side ribs are spread open.. My right side rib cage is stuck in exhale and my left side is stuck in inhale. I have mild scoliosis thoracolumbar I also believe I have a diaphragm dysfunction that also affects it. I've used chiropractors physiotherapy constant dry needling for weeks and weeks months and years did all the foam rolling and stretches hanging but it still only has short term relief.

[@williampaxton871]

Hi Jim. 6 weeks ago my chiropractor popped a rib just under my right pec. It didn't hurt a the time but over the past 6 weeks I have what I would call a dull ache on my side, just below the pec. My doctor did x-rays and found no fractures. He said it was an intercostal muscle strain and to rest the muscle. i have done that with no relief. I have tried various stretches and have had two acupuncture sessions but it still lingers. The chiropractor said my rib was misaligned and now it is okay so he says the pain will diminish but it hasn't. Any thoughts/suggestions? Bill

I have right low back rib pain its right around the side and low , it hurts since 3 years with many movements

[@travisbuhl743]

Would you be opposed to testing out a THOREX roller for this pain?

[@lynnhoffman247]

Is this the same as “charlie horses” in the ribs? I’ve had one area under my bra line where a muscle pops out and stays out for several minutes before it spasms and it goes back down, releasing the pain. Lately, more and more muscles around my front ribs (and one on my left side) have started doing this. Sometimes it even goes downward towards the middle of my abdomen. Painful!! And it takes several minutes to relax, and at times comes right back. Ugh…so tired of these painful spasms. None anywhere else 🤔

[@pissyballs]

My pain goes in a band around my left side, from my mid/upper back to my left chest area. Been trying all sorts of rehab exercises but it's very stubborn. Been going on for a year. I have one question that I would really appreciate an answer to. I often feel the need to side bend, left then right, to make my ribs crack. I always thought this was a good way to free up jammed ribs. Lately I'm wondering if it just causes more pain and inflammation in the long run. What would you advise? Many many thanks from the UK.

[@JimBostock]

Hey! Sorry to hear you've had this for a long time. You most likely have NerveLocks in the paraspinals that are constantly locking you up. When you crack it with stretching, if it feels better, than it's okay, you're not doing more damage, but you're also NOT eliminating the nerve locks, they are being fuelled by it. In the UK try getting Dry needling for Trigger Points , I wish you well mate.

[@kyooda90]

I have the same problem in the same exact area since 2012 and doctors said its my posture that is causing the pain

[@WavyFBaby]

Hello. Three weeks ago I started going to a chiropractor for some lower back pain that I’ve had for awhile. I’ve only seen him three times with a total of three back adjustments. The last time I saw him was four days ago and yesterday I started having sudden and very sharp pain in my rear lower ribs on both sides. My question would be, is it possible that the back adjustment may have caused this? And is it possible that the pain could have been delayed for a few days? Thank you!!

[@bringontherainbows8369]

Yes. Chiropractors crack your bones, they don’t work with or for the muscles surrounding them. I underwent chiropractic treatment and although I do believe in it as a form of treatment, it’s not always best because it can cause joint and muscular inflammation. That’s why they usually say you’ll be sore afterwards (I’d apply heat or cool afterwards). Keep your options open and I suggest a physical therapist

[@patrickhandlovsky7665]

Thank you for this video - have had this now for two years running and as of late it has gotten really bad - done chiro, physio and every morning stretches and yoga for 30 minutes - this helps but the pain always comes back - going to try acupuncture - it's probably the one thing I have not tried through this pain journey I call it now.

[@timsmith894]

Can anyone describe your pain in this area. I discribe mine as a pulling type sensation almost as if I'm walking around with an axe in the back not a sharp pain more a dull nagging pulling feeling sometimes feels like a heavy load on my back and the longer l stand the more intense it becomes only bending right over or sitting down brings instant relief it also seems to travel upwards and across to the right the longer I'm standing.

[@opalpearl3051]

what do you think of using infrared heat, which I am told penetrates 2 inches deeper than regular moist heat from the microwave

[@timsmith894]

@opalpearl13051 l have just received one called Beurer from Amazon it has a 300 watt lamp inside ( halogen) and a built in cooling fan. Unfortunately mine only lasted a little over 15mins so l couldn't say if would have helped or not, sending it back because it keeps turning on and off it also comes with a three year warranty although this does not include the lamp. I haven't decided on whether to re order or just cancel £72. Is a lot of money if it's got this kind of problem.

[@opalpearl3051]

@timsmith894 Thank you for sharing. I hope you have better luck with finding one that works. I keep seeing one advertised on KZbin, but it looks flimsy. I spoke to my physical therapist but they are clueless. I would like to find a practitioner who could recommend one.
