What Causes Post Traumatic Intercostal?

My husband is suffering post traumatic intercostal. He had a bypass surgey 15 years ago by the way of cardiothoracic surgery. His Cardio doctor has ruled out its not from his heart. Does anyone know any doctors in the pittsburgh pa that can help diagnosis this?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

I am sorry for the situation your husband is in.
Post traumatic intercostal is a pathology that should be followed up by orthopedist.

You can look for an orthopedist at your local area and schedule an immediate appointment.

Oral analgesic and analgesic cream locally until you see the orthopedist.

Wish fast recovery!
