What does your pain feel like and where is your pain ? I have Post-thoracotomy Pain Syndrome from nerve damage in my left intercostal nerves that run under ribs on my left chest. I have had it for 24 years and had to take a complete disability in 2005. The pain from this is 24/7 and is intractable and unrelenting.

Hi Carolyn. Im terribly sorry to hear that.

Mine is in my ribs on both sides. Sometimes i feel it in my spine or itll radiate into my shoulders.

Its usually an ache thats dull but its gotten sharper.
