Feels like I am playing whackamole here.
So after 6+ years of chronic back pain, I got myself off prescribed pain meds cold turkey (although I don't recommend bc you could have a seizure without weaning off, Im stubborn) it took maybe 2-3 months off pain meds, countless massages, rolling my back, trigger point injections I finally got a handle on the back pain. ESPECIALLY now using a percussion massager I made.
As soon as the back pain started getting under control with the trigger point injections, I have had intercostal pain in my lower ribs in the front and oblique (mostly right sided)
I went to a myofascial release masseuse (which are hard to find and had to travel an hour) and It made everything feel great for about a week.
I am wondering if either I had the rib pain the entire time but either the pain meds or back pain was so much that it totally masked that pain, but more importantly I am trying to figure this newer issue out (which can be caused from Thoracic spine pain) where I had issues that are now finally manageable w no meds.
Everyone needs to look into percussion massagers, this thing is the only thing to ever work out a few knots that would never be able to be worked out.
