What To Do For Uncomfortable Popping Under Rib Cage?
Recently I was pulling out weeds and as I pulled I twisted and felt a popping under right rib cage. It is now tender and really uncomfortable. Floating ribs are still tender to touch after a week and there is a sensation of fullness under the ribs on that side.
