Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

You need MRI spine to see for nerve or spine compression leading to radicular rib pain.
If there is no neurological involvement then conservative brace or rest is sufficient

Physiotherapy like USG and TENS will help to reduce pain.
Later on follow rehabilitation and physiotherapy.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
