Tumblr is exactly the wrong place to ask anything meaningful but I know the risks so I'm going to do it anyway
with the following important legal caveat: Hello I am specifically not asking for medical advice, just some generalized information from people who may know because search engines are horribly broken and I've run out of ideas for accessing this information for free
I'd love to hear from fellow hypermobile-spectrum folks, and the wider medical experience community at large, about their experience with rib subluxation and/or spontaneous intercostal cartilage injury.
More specifically, I'm wanting to know if anyone has experienced what I'm going to call "an unsettling crinkling/crunching sensation in the ribcageular area, post-sudden-rib-pain event, when one performs the simultaneous actions of lying prone and taking a very deep breath" and whether or not this ought to concern me.
Six months later edit:
Voiceover voice, It was Not a Rib Subluxation. (Check notes for what this turned out to be)
