Physiology & Medicine / Cracked Rib Pops But No Pain! WHAT?
« on: 06/06/2008 16:40:54 »
I was involved in a fight about a week ago and was kicked 4 or 5 times in my left rib cage! I knew I was injured but the pain didn't come on for a few days! The pain is extemely severe especically when coughing or sneezing, my God sneezing is the worst! My question is, sometimes I'll feel a popping throughtout my left rib cage but there's no pain when it pops! Kind of like popping your knuckles but not so sharp or crisp, a dull pop! Any indeas on why it's doing this? Is it safe? The only reason I haven't went to get x-rays is because I've always heard there's nothing that can be done for cracked ribs! I'm just dealing with it all for now!
