Rib pain: sometimes midback, sometimes also breastbone.

My friend came and hugged me n squeezed


really hard and I felt and heard a popping noise n its killing me
How do I relieve the pain?





Hello,
Tell your friend to stop killing you with kindness! He's sprung a rib. It's probably not cracked, though it could be. The usual sign is pain with breathing.

It's one of the conditions that we chiros love to treat. It usually, though I can't promise you always, gets better with just a few treatments.

Meantime be careful, use ice for pain control.
