AbstractA patient with severe right chest pain and mechanical allodynia induced by an intercostal drainage tube to his chest is presented. It was not relieved by treatment with diclofenac sodium and was worsened by movement and touch to the right chest wall. Mechanical allodynia was also present. The patient's wrenching pain disappeared immediately after stitch removal, but the dull pain and mechanical allodynia persisted, gradually decreasing to zero in 7 days.
