How To Treat My Popping And Moving Ribs?

I m a 43 yr old woman that is very desperate. I have been dealing with my ribs popping/ moving for 2 years. It happens for different reasons... sneezing, vomiting, sudden movements & lifting items over 10 lbs. I am miserable. My go does manipulate my ribs quite often. I have done physical therapy 3 different times with no luck. Dr is stumped at this point. We both are doing research for me to see a specialist anywhere in US. I have young children & Am unable to take care of them. Any suggestions would be very appreciated! Thanks so much!

In my opinion you can wear a belt around you chest at the level of the poping ribs , maintain the belt for 2 month , you can also do a surgical stabilization

Good Luck
