Intercostal Muscles | Chest Pain | Rib Pain | Trigger Points

Trigger points in the intercostals are less common and often overlooked as the cause or localized pain in and around the ribcage. Trigger points in the internal and/or external intercostal muscles may be activated by sudden movement (twisting action) of the body, or often by heavy coughing.

Trigger points in the intercostals may sometimes be able to be identified and treated by therapists using a number of trigger point release techniques.

By far one of the most painful things I've ever experienced. I hated the moment right before you sneeze because I knew this was about to hurt like hell. I said FCUK so many times that week.

Thank you so much for such a Concise explanation,
I started feeling a cramp like pain, in my left side / back / lower rib area,
which started to hurt during breathing and acute regular movements.

The Pain is stabbing and sharp, which is super alarming because,
as you have explained, " it feels very disproportionate "

i recalled carrying up a large box and using my left arm to pull the weight of me and the box up 3 flights,
Thank you for this video, it helps a ton when a person is perfectly healthy and active,
which such a intense and sudden pain can be alarming.

Thanks again and Subscribed !

I knew something was off but couldn’t vocalize it. The pain stuck around the middle of my sternum for more than 6 months and no one could tell me why. It was horrible while it lasted. But i knew from the sensation it was caused by a muscle. Thank you!

I have debilitating asthma... Imagine having an attack after these phantom attacks happened with no warning... Oh MY God the pain... Like what the F... OW, OW, OW.... I put a hot water bottle on it, took a pain killer, my inhaler and prayed for 20 mins until the pain finally diminished long enough for me to get my breathing back in control... It happen 1 hr ago... Now I just have the irritating twinge and I'm gonna sleep. Thank God its Monday tomorrow so I can get some meds at a doctor!!! ✌️🙃😔😔😔

I have chest pain since 2019 January and it hasn’t gone away. I did ECG more than three times and everything was okay. The doctor said it can be acid reflux or because I have anemia. The doctor also said I have muscle strain but I was wondering does muscle strain in chest last more than a year?

I suffer from anxiety so it makes everything’s worst. I have breathing problems also. I’m trying my best to cope with everything but it’s really stressful and I feel sad a lot. I am also vaccinated so I don’t know it it made everything worst. I am exercising and drinking herbs so I hope this year I can feel better. Chest pain isn’t nice at all. Please take care of y’all health🙏🏽

I have more of a bad ache around side of ribs, and into chest vs sharp, stabbing pain. Coughing test doesn’t bother me. Basic Heart tests were fine. I did twist a lot for past couple months which is new for me playing virtual reality tennis. also I started having armpit lymph node swelling pain over 4 months ago since the Pfizer vaccine on he same left side, which is still there so I don’t know what is causing this exactly but trying to figure it out.

Hello Sir, I have been to the ER twice and have done a stress test on tread mill, all negative! I run 3 miles with no problem, no shortness of breath, no pain. Yet I have left stabbing chest pain that comes and goes in 3 locations. Sometimes it moves from upper, mid to near my under arm. Even when the stabbing pain isn't there, I feel a dullness of the pain in my chest. ***Please advise because, I have no idea what to do to get some relief?
