Chronic Muscle Spasm, Pain In The Latissimus Dorsi And Oblique, Recurrent Sore Muscle Knots On Rib Cage. What Treatment Should Be Taken?
I have had debilitating chronic muscle spasm and pain in the left latissimus dorsi and oblique for about 4 years. The last 4 weeks I have had sore muscle knots on my left rib cage(intercostal muscles?)(this seems to happen every 4-5 months).The Orthopaedic doctors I have seen are not sure if I need shoulder surgery(MRIs do not indicate any advaced pathology ).

Manual physiotherapy technique like MFR, Is, trigger point release along with ultrasound/ lasser therapy with sustained stretching are the best way to manage this condition
