Neuralgia

Good evening! Could you please advise how you treated intercostal neuralgia. How quickly did the pain go away and how did you recover afterwards? I got a sudden pain under my shoulder blades and closer to my neck on the right side, my right arm went numb and it felt like it was shaking, the pain was so intense I almost passed out. I called an ambulance, they gave me a painkiller injection, but it didn't really work that well. Then I called a doctor, they prescribed painkillers, vitamins and Mydocalm injections, I suffered all day, constantly on painkillers. Now I'm lying here wondering when it'll ease off so I can move normally, because I'm just lying in bed and can't do anything, any extra movement and I immediately feel pain. This has never happened to me before...

I've been living with it for 10 years due to a curved spine. Surgery is only recommended at stage 4, so it hurts periodically. All the ointments, injections, osteopaths, vitamins and so on are only temporary. As an option, getting a nerve block is less dangerous than surgery, but you can still mess things up there too.
Конкретно вам прибор поможет один. Витамины вы тоже пили не те 100% да еще и неправильно.

I'm pregnant and have been suffering from neuralgia for a long time; the worst was intercostal neuralgia—first in my back, then in my chest under the two lower ribs.
An osteopath saved me (two sessions, a week and a half apart, to relieve tension), along with warming in every possible way: a warm jumper, compresses, ointments, heated stones, my husband massaging the area...
It took a long time to subside, nearly a month, painkillers didn't help at all, but at some point, I accepted it, and then positive progress began🤷🏽‍♀️

Treated with anti-inflammatory drugs plus relaxants.
Rubbed with Menovazin and Fastum gel.
Get well soon!

That is not the reason. You won't be 100% cured without surgery, and performing it carries the risk of disability, so it's only done in extreme cases.
Vitamins, physical therapy, swimming, horseback riding, injections.

Yes, I understand that surgery is a risk, I wouldn't want it to come to that, which is why I wanted to start acting early on. This is the first time I've had such pain, so I'm looking for ways to eliminate it and forget about it as quickly as possible...

Have a look at what exercises they recommend doing, you can carefully try stretching (not through pain and suffering), that helped me too
but you do need a good osteopath in your contacts for such occasions

Now I'll definitely take care of myself, do exercises, because I don't want this to happen again. About the osteopath - I've also realised it's better to seek help!

How old are you, if I may ask? It's just quite unusual for such issues to arise at your age. You probably spend a lot of time at the computer, right? Gradually hunching over, skipping exercises, and that's why it cracks, shoots, goes numb, and trembles. An acquaintance of mine had the same problem until she started doing sports. You might end up with kyphosis or osteochondrosis soon if you don't come to your senses.

I'm 31. I can't say I spend much time at the computer. Especially since I have two children and a fairly active lifestyle.

My brother experienced something similar after a severe bout of COVID. You can relieve acute symptoms with painkillers, but then it's important to get checked for possible underlying causes. If nothing is found, consider taking vitamins and minerals, possibly magnesium, and vitamins B and D. Try relaxing and calming treatments like lavender baths and massages. My brother took a course of mild antidepressants prescribed by his doctor, which helped him a great deal.

Well, that's odd then. But most likely it's from kyphosis or osteochondrosis.

I can recommend a brace to you. I used one myself as a teenager until I corrected my kyphosis.

I had the same experience. The doctor said I had gotten too cold without noticing it myself. A small magnetic physiotherapy device helped a lot. It's good for everyone to have one at home. They're inexpensive and come in handy all the time. Along with injections, muscle relaxants, and rubs, the severe pain went away quickly.

In the long term, yes, you need to regularly warm up and stretch your muscles, and also strengthen your core muscles if the problem comes from the spine.

A blood test is needed. If haemoglobin is low, raise it with Totema.

Take magnesium + vitamin D.

It's necessary to help the body recover on its own. Eat a full and varied diet (meat, fish, salads, etc.).

The answer was slipped to them, I wonder why it's not being slipped to the others, is it a matter of ideology?

Actually, you're making a fuss, don't you have any other troubles? I've got a bunch of ailments, but I don't bother others with them.

I also looked into whether you can use a pepper plaster, and now I'm not sure if it's actually allowed. Has anyone here stuck one on?

This could be nonsense. It might be the heart. Dangerous. A pre-heart attack condition.
Vertebrae, hernia, spondylosis and such, need to check the spine to rule out a tumour. At least get some X-rays done. Spine, ribs, ECG.
Smear with Diclofenac, take one tablet of Mydocalm, one tablet of Diazepam, Analgin works well for pain relief, 2-3 tablets.
I had severe sciatica for a week, as if I'd been shot five times in the lower back. From just coughing. Extraordinary agony, but it passes after a week.

You can, but you shouldn't. Do you want it to burn? Well, why? Then Capsicam ointment is brilliant. No, well you can use the plaster if you're not having a heart attack.

It doesn't seem like a stroke, does it? Are you in pain, feeling numb, or perhaps a bit foolish? There's no dazed, unusual state, defects in diction?

It's not a stroke. When the ambulance arrived, they did an ECG and performed an examination. Then a doctor came and made a prescription. Said it was neuralgia.

They prescribed me this: ketorol injections in the morning, neuromed forte twice a day, mydocalm in the evening, dolgit cream, and in between you can also take ibuprofen, ketorolac tablets

The paramedic said the symptoms were different, and the GP confirmed it when she came on the call. I told her everything and showed her what and where was bothering me.

Voltaren to the rescue, there's nothing better, we've tried various alternatives. It costs as much as a plane ticket to Sochi now, but you can get a small one... No substitutes can replace it, on any basis whatsoever!!

They prescribed everything correctly for you. And you should also add magnetotherapy. Either buy one, it's not expensive, or go to the clinic.

What's that all about? It's diclofenac. Why pay 10 times more for an ointment? Advertising? Rubbish. Buy diclofenac and you'll be happy. Gel, of course. Ointment is crap, it's greasy. Gel gets absorbed.
Oh I remembered. I also put Nise on my face. Contains nimesulide. I had a nerve that got swollen, pills weren't helping. In desperation I put Nise along the nerve line. And it actually went away. Even surprised me.

And what vitamins are those? Those are the B group. It's better to inject them. And if taking orally, not just any B, but Neurovit or Neurobion. Their doses are 10-20 times higher. Other Bs are rubbish.

What the hell surgeries? And what the hell kind of horse riding with ribs and vertebrae? That'll make her disabled. And why have surgery if it'll be gone in a week, like it never was? What's there to operate on? Maybe she caught a draught from the window and your reasons have nothing to do with it. Author, don't listen. It'll pass. And then get checked and take some vitamins. No riding needed.)
