Do you experience sharp, catching pain in your back? You could be having costotransverse disorder.
Our costotransverse joint is the articulation between our ribs and our vertebrae from the T1-T12 segment in our thoracic spine. The joints allow gliding motions at the ribs to help with respirations. Bounding the costotransverse joints are an intricate network of ligaments, and articulating cartilage and nerves.
The costotransverse joint can get damaged from:
Possible symptoms of costotransverse pain are:
• Pain in the mid and upper back.
• Pain radiating to the front of the chest wall or shoulder.
• Pain with deep breathing, coughing or sneezing.
• Neck pain or headache.
The symptoms of costotransverse disorder closely resemble those of a lung, gall bladder or heart condition. Therefore, it is important to see a health professional to help with distinguishing for any underlying organ issues.
