This last time that it happened i was getting a massage and the massuse (sp) was using very moderate pressure to my ribs and it popped and scared her to death she. It happens several times a month and in all different locations. my family doc says that it s related to my fibromyalgia i don t buy it.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The recurrent popping noise in the ribs causing you a pain could be related to costochondritis which is an inflammatory disorder of the rib joints. Taking oral anti inflammatory may help you in reducing the pain.
