When I was pregnant 2+ years ago, I threw some intercostal muscles out of place. There was so much pain, that we originally thought that I fractured some ribs from coughing so hard. Anyway, the pain finally went away a couple of months after having my son and I thought I was home free. A few weeks ago, I started coughing a lot and had intercostal muscle pain again, although not to the severity that I couldn't walk like last time. My cough is primarily gone after some oral antibiotics but my muscles still bother me a lot. I'm popping aleve like candy. Anyway, if anyone has experienced this does seeing a chiropractor help? Or deep tissue massage? Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
