My left shoulder and ribs hurt every time I breathe

We all know that the lungs are the most important organ in the respiratory system. If there is a problem with a person's lung function, people will feel pain when breathing, and may even have some breathing difficulties or be unable to breathe. Therefore, we should protect our lungs well in life and not let our lungs overwork. Some patients feel pain in their left shoulder and ribs when they breathe. What's going on?

It is recommended to first check whether there is lung infection, pleurisy, tuberculosis, or pneumothorax. In addition, consider whether there is the possibility of intercostal neuritis or costochondritis. Sometimes, you should also pay attention to the fact that gastrointestinal ulcers and pancreatic diseases may also cause this phenomenon. An electrocardiogram should also be performed to check whether there is a possibility of myocardial ischemia.

When I breathe hard, I feel pain in my left shoulder. It's probably not lung problem, but intercostal neuralgia. It hurts a lot when I take a deep breath, but it's fine if I don't breathe, and then it lasts for a few seconds to relieve.

The solution is to lie flat on the bed when doing this reduction, place your hands behind your back on both sides of your body, and relax your body naturally. 《You can ask your family to help with the reduction. 》The method is to make a fist and press the painful point with the big joints of the four fingers. If it hurts on the right side, push it to the left side. Conversely, push it to the right side until the pain in the thoracic spine is no longer felt. The force should be increased from light to heavy, gradually increasing to a maximum of 10 kilograms. Never use brute force.

Once you push it into place, your back pain symptoms will disappear immediately. Another method is to reposition the spine by yourself: lie flat on a hard bed. If the pain is on the right side of the thoracic spine, make a fist with your right hand and extend it behind your back, with the back of your hand facing up, and press the painful point of the thoracic spine. Turn your body a little to the right to press down on your right fist. Use your right hand to push the thoracic vertebrae hard to the left. Keep pushing until you feel no pain in the thoracic spine. As long as it is pushed into place, the symptom of dull pain in the lower right side will disappear immediately. The pain in the thoracic spine usually heals on its own in four or five days. Generally speaking, it can be restored and cured within half an hour. It doesn't matter if you can't tell the difference between the Guan and thoracic vertebrae.

A principle: push where it hurts until all symptoms disappear. The reduction is quite painful because the dislocated thoracic vertebrae have been squeezing the nerves for a long time which is already very painful. Now the reduction requires further pressure on the nerves which have been squeezed for a long time and are already very painful. Therefore, it will be very painful, but it is within a tolerable range. I have told you the method. If you understand it carefully and follow it, you can cure thoracic spondylosis in a short time.

Note: [If your skin feels numb and uncomfortable on the second day after the reduction, it means that you have inflammation in your thoracic spine and you just need to take amoxicillin for a few days]. Don't massage.
