Answers:
Cold will help, an ice pack will reduce swelling.. It's also important to understand why it did that in the first place.. My husband has a similar problem.. It used to cause him daily pain, now that we know what causes it, he hasn't had a problem in a really long time.. His problem was muscle tension in his back pulling his ribs out of place.. A trip to the chiropractor would help, but now that I am a massage therapist I can relieve the problem before it even starts.. So chiropractors and massage therapists might be able to help.. The quick fix is ice, and avoiding the activities that cause pain until it heals by itself.. Good luck!Health Question & Answer
