A member asked:
My ribs are making this popping sound and tense feeling similar to how you would crack your knuckles. what kind of doctor should i see for this?

Rib exam: I recommend starting with an examination by a primary care physician or internist. Rib xrays may be advised. Referral to a specialist could be arranged depending on the findings or if rib separation or displacement is suspected.
