I broke 2 ribs. The bones feel like they are popping in and out. Is this normal in the healing process?


Question:


Answers:
Yep, sounds normal. Hurts, doesn't it.
I had a few broken ribs and there's just not a whole heck of a lot to do about it but rest.

There's a lot of cartilage around the ribs so that is what you are probably feeling.
yes, this is normal. It takes a long time for the muscles and cartilage around the ribs to heal. You're looking at a good four months. Be patient. It's going to take time.
