Rib Head???

(2 discussions)

Twice within the last week I have dobe something as simple as take a bowl off a counter or moved one thing in a cabinet and have gotten a tremendous amount of pain across my upper back.
It literally took my breath away.
I feel like my ribs are hurting and I still can’t take a real deep breath.
I went to my Chiropractor immediately after the second one (yesterday) and he did a few cracks on the back and when I told him how much pain I was in he said “You may have popped a rib head” then said – see you in a week.
I couldn’t sleep at all last night from the pain.
I have been going to him faithfully since January (up to 3X wk/down to once a wk).
Is there anything else he should have done for me and should I maybe see another Chiropractor? Is this serious since it happened so close together with hardly any exertion?
Is there something I should be doing for myself to prevent this?
Sorry for all the questions, but I’m getting very concerned.Thanks, Maryanne

    I was leaning over an above ground pool trying to reach something when I heard a pop sound that seemed to be my rib. By the end of that day I could barely breath or talk without pain. I can not lay down as it hurts to badly. The source of the pain is in front at the bra line. The pain goes around to the back side also. Did I crack a rib or just pop it out of place? What do I need to do? Thanks for time and info.
