Pesky popping out ribs
9 Answers
Went to see my osteopath the other day as had been having a lot of pain in my chest and under one of my shoulderblades and he said a rib had popped out of place and so he popped it back in.
This has happened a couple of times before.
Is there anything I can do to stop this happening. I see him for my arthritis as well but will get costly to have to pay so much to get ribs popped back in periodically or have to try and put up with the pain until my next arthritis appointment.
Thanks for any suggestions :)

I was wondering about weak muscles and whether it's connected to my chest pain. Have ruled out reflux as got that under control with omeprazole and GP said she thinks it might be referred pain from my stomach (finally go back to see gastro next month).

A really strong uncomfortable pain which moves around.
Often starts in the middle and moves left round under my boob and feel a lot of pain under my shoulders blades as well, more the left one.
Get quite short of breath sometimes as well.
I've been told various things, pleurisy, pericarditis, reflux and now referred pain from my stomach.
Had an ECG a while back which came back ok and have been checked over a few times when I've been having the pain and am told there are no signs of it being anything heart related.

I get Rose Hip from Holland and Barrett. It's about �20 a pot and I take 3 capsules a day- I open them and sprinkle the powder on my cereal! It's less harsh than swallowing pill versions. You can also get Rose Hip liquid. I have found my arthritic joints caused by colitis have much improved since taking it!
I have exactly the same problem Jenna1978 and only this week have had to go back to the osteopath because my rib had popped out of place again. I too am arthritic. It also affects my right arm and I get electric shocks down my arm. Horrible problem. Perhaps I will try the rose hip remedy that Scarlett suggests.
