I'd be interested, just let me know.

 

I just turned 52 and I've got a rib on my right side that has pop loose and floating around in there and I'm hobbling around like I'm 90. Getting old sucks

 

That sounds like it really hurts! How do you pop a rib loose?

 

Didn't know I did. It just kept on getting worse. Finally went urgent care yesterday. I thought it might have a bad kidney but the Dr . Said pop my twelfth rib loose from my spine or something to that effect

 

Yep it ain’t for sissies

 

Amen

 

That sounds painful!

 

Well I'll tell ya. If you get into a coughing or sneezing fit you had better have plenty of undies

 

I've broken ribs before, just never broke one off.

 

I’m almost scared to ask, but how do you, or they, reattach the rib, or can they?

 

Said that a chiropractor can pop it back in place

 

Barf

 

Hmmm ... like a lego brick.

So now that rib will be like the dis-located shoulder thing, easily pop out and have to be put back? Sorry, just curious, haven’t heard this one before.

 

Have to agree. Not at all keen on a chiropractor playing around, just my opinion.

 

I’d have to know how painful it is out of place, but my gut says the chiropractor option has got to be better than being cut on or anything invasive. Just sayin’ ...

 

I get what your saying and to each their own path. I would personally choose a different path...

 

Day off.
Wish they made a lot more three day weekends.

 

Are you saying we’re edumacated ?
I don’t know how to take that....
