Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
hi,

thank you for providing a brief history of your illness. since you have discomfort since last October I will recommend you to meet a physician and take an x-ray to see if the lungs and ribs are fine with their anatomical and physiological state. as even the muscle spasm will not stay for such a long time. If all fine with the x-ray then you need to perfrom some breathing exercises and costal breathing exercises while placing the hand at the painful area. A physical therapist will be of great help to ease your pain and get strength in the respiratory muscles.

with the grace of God I wish you a a speedy recovery
