Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 75 Likes: 2 | I have a question I am currently one week into HBO treatment and the last two days my ribs on my back are killing me, I don't know if it is just being in one position for almost two hours, is the tech coming back to fast at the end of treatment or something wrong with my lungs. I have asthma but they said it would be ok. Please help has anyone ever had these symptoms?

The ache from lying in the tube for two hours seems plausible, but I'm no doctor or expert. I have periodic back problems in general, so I don't recall anything unusual, but last year, I thought I hurt my back, and side in the gym, and it turned out to be a kidney stone, so you never know. Good luck.

I would speak up on Monday and talk with the tech and ask if you are able to discuss it with the HBO doc prior to diving. You could have other problems that are being brought out by the HBO.
When I did HBO, after about a week of it I always felt great. I dont know exactly why but HBO always had a very healing effect on me from head to toe. It even cleared up my lower back arthritis problems.
Best wishes!

I used a heating pad last night and the pain seems to subside but after coughing its back again

Wishing you all the best with everything.
