I have this, it started after a serious car accident 11 years ago, I had 2 ribs that would go out of place and have inflammation in the neck and back and ribs, my treatment that helps is physical therapy and hot and cold compress, nsaid's and mild light stretching and walking, hang in there! A heating pad and a walk are what get me quick relief I go through a heating pad once a month!
