A member asked:
I have been coughing so hard my lowest rib on the left side keeps popping in and out. the pain is un bearable. what should i do?

Exam: It is possible to break a rib from coughing. You can also have several lung problems that can cause similar pain. It would be best to have an exam done, particularly if the pain is severe and/or you are short of breath.

I think I may have slipped rib syndrome. I can feel something pointy right beneath the left-front side of my rib cage. I can move it with no pain but if I cough too hard or sit down for long periods of time it starts to hurt my upper abdomen and back?
