It is rarely diagnosed because the diagnosis cannot be established with laboratory tests, x-rays, MRIs, etc. The pain is often described as stabbing, tearing, sharp, spasm-like, tender, aching or gnawing. It typically feels like the pain wraps around your chest in a band-like pattern The pain may intensify during exertion or with sudden movements , such as coughing or laughing. Treatments include anti-inflammatory medicines, nerve-silencing medicines, physical therapy, anesthetic patches, and pain pills.
