Suggest Treatment For Pain Under Shoulder Blade
Is there anything that can be done for a rib that pops out of place constantly. I have been fighting with this for years. I can sometimes get it back into place myself but most of the time I have to go to a Chiropractor. It never stays in though and this time the Chiropractor has not been able to get it back into place. It hurts under my right shoulder blade around to under my right breast and the pain is so bad it is hard to breathe without pain.

Sir since your rib is not reduced, that's making it painful.
Yes this can be corrected surgically, but that is best done by chest surgeons.
