Is anyone familiar with slipping rib syndrome?

How did you get them to realize it was slipping rib syndrome?

A pediatrician first mentioned her rib slipped, but thought it would be temporary. After that we went through lots of test, all normal. Also did PT. Finally I found Dr. Klinkner, she diagnosed it and performed surgery. That surgery did not go well. Things got worse. So, we went to Dr Hansen.

It seems impossible to get a correct diagnosis. I have found since I have degeneration that is all that is focused on because they don't see anything else. Because of conversations here I have finally gotten them to target the intercostal nerve area rather than my spine.

Hello @brayimee I hope you don’t mind me getting in touch. Can I ask if your sibo was caused by your slipping rib syndrome or was this a complete separate issue? I hope you are doing well.

Did you ever find out what was going on? I have same symptoms!

I need help finding a doctor who is familiar with slipping rib syndrome in Florida. Please if anyone knows any information

Hi @kelseyh, if you would like to consult with a Mayo Clinic expert, you can request an appointment here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

Have you been diagnosed with slipping rib syndrome?

Thank you. No I have not been diagnosed. I can't find a doctor who knows anything about it unfortunately. I've been doing research on it and it lines up to a T with what I've been dealing with

I have been trying to read the posts and haven't found any that actually describe what they feel and how often. I haven't been diagnosed with slipped rib syndrome but my symptom is actually feeling my ribs slide under each other as I am squatting down doing something- that seems to be when it happens the most. I will be doing something- nothing strenuous even and I a week ago felt my left lower ribs roll underneath the others and take my breath away instantly, i can hear crunching. I stopped doing what I was doing for a few min it was tender already to the touch. A few minutes later, I was doing the same thing and then my right side did the same thing only not as severe. Does anyone have this happen? I am still hurting, I have been applying heat and after a few days of hardly being able to move and it was very slowly when I did, I can move and have been stretching which definitely is helping. This seems to be happening more often, it used to be rarely and as time as gone on being my age or things getting used to slipping/ rolling it is happening more. It does happen to both ribs and as I read online if usually doesn't happen to both sides. Any one else have these symptoms or is it something else? Thanks for reading my post. I just found you

I was looking at this for a friend and found this site. https://www.bcm.edu/healthcare/specialties/the-lung-institute/thoracic-surgery/slipping-rib-syndrome Which I thought was excellent, expecially how to diagnose it, since imaging (in the supine, unbent position) usually registers as normal.
You might want a manual exam, so you can repeat the position in which you experience the rolling.
It turned out that a physical exam (by a chiropractor because they are quick to get an appointment with) ruled our slipping rib, while an MRI indicated rib instability where ribs were attached to compressed vertebrae.
His description was similar to yours.
Experienced responses are sure to follow this one.
