What Causes Sore Muscles Between The Ribs With A History Of Bronchitis?
The muscles between my ribs are really very sore. Not all the time though. Just when I do certain movements, like getting up from a lying position, sneezing, coughing. My right side was sore, and now my left side is sore. It hurts too when I take deep breaths. The pain compares to the pain a persin feels when you have exercised too hard and your muscles ache the next day. I have been coughing quite a lot the last month...had bronchitis. How do I treat this?

hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised followed by the respiratory assessment.
Since you have bronchitis and cough is a long standing issue, due to which there will be a intercostal muscle spasm which is making you feel sore and tiredness.
Also for bronchitis, performing regular breathing exercises of which there are different scientific ways of exercises are there for which the Cardiorespiratory physical therapist will be of help to learn that better.
Also, taking a stem therapy will help loosen the secretion and improve the humidification of the alveoli.
In my clinical practice I have been seen cases with bronchitis and they respond well to steam therapy in combination of properly performed breathing exercises.
