Please i need an answer, does liver popping noises when touching or pushing under rib?there is no pain at all but something moveable under right rib
A doctor has provided 1 answer
? floating rib: The lower ribs can be "floating" in not being attached to the sternum(breast bone) like the upper and middle ribs and can be made to "pop" if pushed just the right way. Another cause could be a traumatic separation of a rib that is normally attached to the lower sternum by cartilage and moved back and forth. This could have happened long ago and the fall forgotten. If it bothers, see your doc!
