Slipping rib syndrome is characterized by discomfort or pain in the lower ribs due to hypermobility or movement. Learn about its causes, symptoms, and effective treatments to alleviate discomfort and regain comfort.
Slipping Rib Syndrome is a condition where the lower ribs become hypermobile due to weakened or loose cartilage, causing them to slip out of place. This can lead to sharp, intermittent pain, discomfort, and sometimes a popping sensation in the chest or upper abdomen. The condition is often misdiagnosed as other chest or abdominal issues.
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination and imaging tests to confirm rib instability. Treatment options include physical therapy, pain management, and, in severe cases, surgical stabilization. Early diagnosis and proper management can significantly improve symptoms and quality of life.
