Hello

It actually feels like u broke your ribs, when you strained your intercostal muscles. My doctor recommended heat and that sometimes worked but an ice pack worked for me

@@chrismartinez1121 where did you put the ice

@@chrismartinez1121 That happened to me 2days ago. Holy shit. When it happened, I couldn't walk or breathe and I nearly collapsed to the floor.

Exactly. I'm going through this now and those are all descriptors I would use.

How long did it last? I’ve done the same swimming. 5 days so far and not much improvement. Heard they can take a long time to heal! 😔

@@CrazyTechLab Oh no, sorry to read that. Well it took about 4 days I'd say. The nights were the worst. I couldn't get into a comfortable position at all so slept upwards with 3 high pillows. No side was comfortable to lie on tbh. Breathing was particularly hard. My partner massaged this ointment called Tiger Balm on the injury atleast 3 times a day. You have to be careful with that stuff, always do your own research regarding medicines etc as we are no doctors. A friend gave it to me and said it worked on an injury they had so I tried it. Its really strong stuff, smells like Vanilla and menthyl imo. I absolutely hate taking any form of medication but on a night took paracetamol to try and help the Inflammation or whatever it was. I'd take some during the day if needed. A month later, I can still feel it but definitely not as bad, am able to go gym and be physical thank goodness. Oh also, at the time of the Injury, my partner rang 111. A UK nhs helpline. They asked me to go to A & E as my breathing was so bad and within the injury was a continuous stabbing pain. I didn't manage to go as I couldn't even stand or sit and waiting in A & E would have been daunting esp by myself as no one else would have been allowed in with me due to Covid. We didn't even ring the Dr's as they are pretty useless around here. It's always best to go get an xray in A & E if possible etc just incase there's really bad damage. I opted for medicine, ice and Tiger balm (no hot water bottle was used) rest and no physical activities what so ever. Got better gradually past the 4 day mark, it will take a while. Get well soon. ☺️

@@sashiez1 Thanks for the advice! Is certainly a strangely debilitating injury! It does feel a bit better today but won’t be back in the pool for a week or two I think! Coughing, sneezing and deep breathing really hurts as does some movement but I can lift things and move my arm fine so it’s clearly not a pec injury. I’ve had ice packs on it too and starting hot treatment today. I think I have some tiger balm somewhere after a trip to a massage therapist a few years ago so I’ll try that!. Also ordered a hot/cold strap gel pack off Amazon to make the hot cold treatment easier!

@@CrazyTechLabYou're welcome! Yes, you are right. It's one of the weirdest and most painful injuries I've ever had that certainly does leave you feeling dehabilitated for a while. The injury shocked me like it would have you as we like to keep fit and healthy. I couldn't lift my arms, it would hurt so much and breathing would be very difficult in doing so too. Glad you're on the mend and don't rush back Into swimming, take it slow and steady. In the back of my head, I'm kinda scared it will be a reoccurring injury for life, hope not! Let me know if the Tiger balm and your other treatments worked for you. All the best, take care. 😊

@@CrazyTechLab Oh and BTW, Tiger Balm gets very hot on the skin so I kinda used that as my hot treatment. It can burn so use with caution! 😩

I've written 2 textbooks and promised the missus after the first one I would never write another!

@@SamWebster are they available for purchase through amazon etc? A wise man to not disobey the wife! Happy wife = easy life.

@@thebeardednurse187 Yes. Embryology at a Glance and Essential Human Development.

I would think so, I'm not a doctor, but I have this injury right now and keep re-injuring it and I'll have a day where it is hard to breath and hurts to breath and I don't necessarily panic, but it does make it uncomfortable. When you're used to being able to breath normally and all of a sudden its harder too it's natural to freak out a bit regardless.

yes, happened to me last week. over golfed believe it or not and all of a sudden couldn’t breathe and i drove to the er thinking i was dying of a clot. after ct scan and x-ray ruled out the blood clot and heart stuff i self diagnosed based off the tenderness of the ribs and the fact i had just played a ton of golf the last month

@@micahkimball5322 ..same just happened to me. Did ekg, stress test which I beat my target goal, I didn't reach a 100% but I got 95%. Possibly could've got 100% but my knee was acting up. Now my dr think its that muscle. My doctor said I passed the stress test

@@kidvicious2227 craziest stuff man. still haven’t golfed again even though the tenderness is gone now. hopefully soon tho i will try again. i’ve always had chronic sinusitis so nose breathing sucks but never had a full blown panic attack bc of not being able to take a deep breath before bc of it and the crazy tenderness of the right rib area, chest area. couple that with having covid almost 5 months ago to add to the anxiety and panic attack ugh.

@@kidvicious2227 i literally had 3 ekgs in past 3 months post covid and bc of the intercostal muscle strains and it’s always fine. if nothing else at least it comes down the anxiety.

I’ve had this for 4 years, had heart and lung investigations and everything is fine but this has ruined my life and am getting no answers from GP, I can’t get a full breath in on the left side and it’s scary at times, my ribs are constantly sore and tight 🤷‍♀️

@@1273mel I have decreased lung function on intake. Not sure if a muscular disease or what. It's frightening. As im sure it's frightening for you too. Intake of air on full breath is tight for me too.

Mine is on the left so could be would not leave anything to chance though

Good luck.
