Brief Answer:
Rib belt/tapping helps in seperated ribs
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for posting
I have gone through your suffering carefully and my suggestion would be-
1. Rib belt/Tapping of the slipped rib area. If nothing is available you may wrap a 6 inch broad cloth around the painful area. Avoid cough and anything that make the matter worse.
2. Slipping Rib Syndrome is caused by weakness of the sternocostal, costochondral, or costovertebral ligaments. Prolotherapy will strengthen these ligament junctions in all the areas where the ribs are hyper XXXXXXX
3. I would recommend taking vitamin C - maybe 250 milligrams - twice a day for a month to help the body make new connective tissue. Also try topical application of Traumeel Cream, a homeopathic preparation that relieves pain and stimulates healing of areas of injury, especially joints.
4. You may visit the ER if nothing works up for you.
Hope this helps and I shall be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
