Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I went to the emergency room today and the doctor said I popped a rib. When I was driving I coughed then when I breathed I heard a loud pop on my rib and felt extremely painful like a rubber band popping. It knocked the breath out of me. Isn t talked for a couple minutes and took me a minute to catch my breath. Any ideas ?

Suggest Treatment For Popping Up Of Ribs
Hello, It could be twitching of intercostal (muscles between the ribs) and will settle by itself. You can go for a chest X-ray for reassurance. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
