Is anyone familiar with slipping rib syndrome?

Hello, My 14 year old daughter was diagnosed with slipping rib syndrome 2 years ago and I really need help finding doctors and treatment solutions in Minnesota.

If you are in the Twin Cities or nearby, you could check out Childrens Hospital and Services: https://www.childrenshospital.org/centers-and-services

Hello @stacey01, Welcome to Connect. I'm sure this has to be difficult for you as well as your daughter. Here is some more information on slipping rib syndrome if you have not already seen it.

Is Rochester Mayo Clinic a possibility?

There is a dr at Mayo that does the surgery. I believe her name is dr, kilneker or something like that. Join the slipped rib group on Facebook and feel free to ask me or others on there

Okay it’s dr klinkner. Mayo did a webinar with her on it. I would call for her directly. Otherwise you may get the run around. Very few folks are familiar with this

I’m going to see Dr. Hansen July 9 2021. I had been going to Dr Shiroff but he wants to use a metal plate so I’ve read so many good this about Dr Hansen I made an appt. Did you ever have lower back pain or buttocks pain or sciatic pain when your ribs were slipping.

Hello @bobsacamento23, Welcome to Connect. Thank you for sharing about Dr. Klinkner with your reply to @stacey01. Have you been diagnosed with slipping rib syndrome?

Here is a link to what I think you mentioned would be helpful.
