Neuralgia

Good evening! Could you please tell me how you treated intercostal neuralgia? How quickly did the pain go away and how did you recover? My back seized up under the shoulder blades and closer to the neck on the right side, my right arm went numb and felt like it was shaking, the pain was so intense I almost passed out. I called an ambulance, they gave me a painkiller shot, but it didn't really help much. 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 let up 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 is the first time this has happened...

I've been living with it for 10 years already due to spinal curvature. Surgery is only recommended at stage 4, so it hurts periodically. All 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 bottom two ribs.
An osteopath saved me (two sessions, one and a half weeks apart, to relieve tension), along with warming in every possible way: a warm sweater, compresses, ointments, heated stones, my husband massaging me...
It took a long time to subside, almost 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's not the reason. You won't be 100% cured without surgery, and performing it carries the risk of disability, so it's done only in extreme cases.
Vitamins, physical therapy, swimming, horseback riding, injections.

I'll hope it lets up soon! Thanks 😉

Yes, I understand that surgery is a risk, I wouldn't want it to come to that, which is why I wanted to start taking action 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...

Check out 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 cases

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

How old are you? It's just very strange that something like this happens at your age. You probably spend a lot of time at the computer. You're gradually hunching over, not doing any exercises, and that's why it cracks, shoots, goes numb, and trembles. An acquaintance of mine had the same thing until she started exercising. You might soon develop kyphosis or osteochondrosis 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 kids and a fairly active lifestyle.

My brother had the same thing after a severe bout of COVID. Use painkillers to relieve acute symptoms, and then get checked for possible underlying causes. If nothing is found, try vitamins and minerals—perhaps magnesium, B vitamins, and vitamin D. Incorporate relaxing and calming routines: lavender baths, massages. My brother took a course of mild antidepressants as prescribed by his doctor, and it helped a lot.

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

I can recommend an orthosis to you. I used one myself as a teenager until I fixed my kyphosis.

I had the same thing happen. The doctor said I got hypothermia without even noticing it. 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 topical ointments, 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 hemoglobin 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.).

Actually, you're the one who's messed up, she doesn't 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 really okay. Has anyone here tried sticking one on?

This might be nonsense. It could be the heart. Dangerous. Pre-heart attack condition.
Vertebrae, hernia, spondylosis, and other issues; the spine needs checking to rule out a tumor. At least get some X-rays. Spine, ribs, ECG.
Apply Diclofenac topically, 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, felt like I was shot five times in the lower back. All from coughing. Extraordinary agony, but it goes away after a week.

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

It doesn't seem like a stroke. Are you in pain, feeling numb, or are you also kind of stupid? No dazed, unusual state, defects in diction?

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

They prescribed me this: Ketorol injections in the morning, Neuromed Forte twice a day, Midocalm in the evening, Dolgit cream, and in between you can also take Ibuprofen, Ketorolac tablets.

The emergency doctor said the symptoms were different, and the general practitioner confirmed it when she came to the house 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, no matter the base!!

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

What's the deal? That's diclofenac. Why pay 10 times more for the ointment? Advertising? Nonsense. Buy diclofenac and you'll be happy. The gel, of course. The ointment is crap, it's greasy. The gel gets absorbed.
Oh, I remembered. I also put Nise on my face. It contains nimesulide. I had a nerve inflammation, pills weren't helping. Out of desperation I applied Nise along the nerve line. And it actually went away. Even surprised me.

And which vitamins are those? Those are the B vitamins. It's better to inject them. And if you take them orally, not just any B vitamins, but Neurotropic B vitamins like Neuromultivit or Neurobion. Their doses are 10-20 times higher. Other B vitamins are useless.

What the hell surgeries? And what the hell does horseback riding have to do with ribs and vertebrae? That will make her disabled.
And why have surgery if it'll go away in a week like nothing happened? What's there to operate on? Maybe she caught a draft from the window and your reasons have nothing to do with it. Author, don't listen. It'll pass. Then get checked and take some vitamins. No riding needed.)
