A member asked:
Whenever i breath sometimes or just move a bit in general (sometimes) a piece of the right bottom side of my like lungs or ribs i think? pops a bit back and back out, like when i stretch or something, should i be concerned?

Secondary to trauma on the right side of the ribcage, a lower rib can be detached from its insertion on the sternum, and become a "floating rib". This is not a matter of concern, but will show up on a normal chest x-ray if definite diagnosis is desired.
