Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

With such presentations in my clinic, I would first rule out any serious cardiac or chest condition by doing chest x ray and ECG.I also prefer receiving muscle relaxant and topical massage cream to relieve intercostal myositis.
