My dr has suggested doing laser treatments on my ribs… I’ve been there 3 times and it is helping.. it won’t cure it right away but it will help heal it .. after I’m healed up ( 6 weeks) I’m going to have injections.. they do a block so your numb and with the ultra sound they can see the cartilage that’s damaged or maybe a tear.. and they will do and injection at the site.. so I am considering it… just wanted to give you an update.. in the meantime I’m icing it and resting( you know at the busiest time of year)
