Slipping rib syndrome and chest pain
Slipping rib syndrome, also known as rib subluxation or clicking rib syndrome, is a condition that occurs when the cartilage of the lower ribs slips out of place, causing pain and discomfort. This condition is more common than often realised and can be misdiagnosed due to its overlapping symptoms with other chest-related issues. Understanding slipping rib syndrome is important for ensuring effective management and relief from symptoms.
