Cracked broken or poped out one of your ribs.

Popping feeling in ribswhen laying on hard floor.

Sometimes you might walk across your floors and hear a popping or creaking noise. Slipping rib syndrome goes by many names including clicking rib displaced ribs rib tip syndrome nerve nipping painful rib syndrome and interchondral subluxation among others. If you re hearing a snapping or popping sound when you stretch your rib cage it is most likely your breast bone or sternum popping. The swelling of the joints associated with sternum fractures can cause popping in this area as well.

I do think you should see a doctor if possible to see if. You will need to take it easy for a week or two so it has time to heal. While this doesn t mean your floors are defective there are various reasons it can occur. Your first seven ribs are connected to your sternum and held in place by ligaments and cushioned by cartilage all of which move together when you stretch.

Slipping rib syndrome occurs when the ligaments holding the ribs in place move cause the ribs to shift or slip slipping rib syndrome is more likely to occur in women than men.
