Will Acupressure Help To Reduce Pain In Rib Radiating Towards Arm?
I have severe pain on the 6th rib on the left side since 2011. Ecg is clear. Pain occurs during change of season mostly n goes after about 3 to 4 weeks. Can actually feel d swelling of the cartilage. Pain sometimes radiates in the left arm n left side. Pain killers help, but how much can one take. Sometimes the pain is gone for 2 months n then suddenly cums back. Applying heat on the area helps. Tried allopathy, injections ayurveda etc. Will accupressure help

Thanks for choosing HCM
If ECG is normal then most probably the condition might be costochondritis
If any swelling is there you can go for a examination to GP
He will help you in diagnosing
No ideas about Accupressure
