Neuralgia is a condition characterized by sharp, burning, or stabbing pain caused by irritation or damage to a nerve. Intercostal neuralgia affects the nerves between the ribs, a abdominal neuralgia affects the nerves that pass through the abdominal wall. The clip places this within “Neuralgias in the chest and abdomen” so it is easier to understand what is happening in the area, not only where symptoms are felt.
