My Ribs Made a popping Sound ... Posted: 08-12-07 12:47pm
Hello,
Im not sure if this is the right forum to
post in but I felt it was the closest so
here I go...
Yesterday I was wrestling with a friend of
mine, I was on my back and he threw my
legs to the side, while he did this I
heard a *POP* coming from my rib cage
area. After I let out a "ouch" he got off
me and I laid there preparing myself for
the pain to come, since that I was sure I
had broken it. After laying there for a
couple of minutes I felt nothing, so I
slowly stood up and started moving around
and to my surprise I had no pain at all.
A day later, today, there are slight acute
pains, they are not really excruciating
but there is somewhat of a pain there that
wasn't there before.
Now normally I wouldnt be too concerned
about a little pain, what is bothering
however that there is a pain where I heard
a pop and im not sure what to make of that
pop...
Im pretty sure my ribs aren't broken
because I've heard that when peoples ribs
are broken they have a hard time
moving/breathing.
The only time it kinda of hurts is when i
sneeze, but again the pain is small.
Does anyone have any idea what might have
happened to me? Could it be a ligament
tear? a fractured or cracked rib? Also,
how long do these things usually take to
heal?
Thanks for your time, any help would be
greatly appreciated!

I'd think a broken bone would hurt like
heck...and you'd know you broke something.
I think perhaps you could have
experienced a tendon rubbing across a bone
and re-aligning itself. If you're still
not experiencing symptoms...just remember
the incident for later. If you do have
pain, you might want to consult your GP
and maybe ask for an MRI.
