A physiotherapist has today suggested that my husband's chest discomfort could be due to a weakness that has developed in his intercostal muscles. They have suggested he try a brace in the form of a tight thermal or singlet to provide him with more support. We will see how that goes.

Happy to report an elasticised "brace" that is pulled tight around the upper abdomen area and velcroed together is working really well. My husband is able to sit upright for longer, and has had a significant improvement in pain. Yay!

Glad to hear it. Maybe others can benefit from this.
