Hello,
A painful sore rib that has not responded to pain killers and local injections needs to be surgically removed. It can cause nerve root compression and can add to further problems.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Praveen Tayal, Orthopaedic Surgeon
