What Causes Subluxated Pain In Rib And Back?

Pretty sure I have a subluxated rib - pain on upper-mid right side - mostly back today but front yesterday as well. Was doing some rowing a couple of days ago...I am 54, female, 5 9 , 170lb, reasonably good health. Can I do something to help ease the rib back into place myself?

Hello there. It will heal on its own. What you need to do is decrease the activity on that side and take some analgesics for pain relief. Muscle relaxants are helpful too. It will take about two wks. Avoid rowing for the time being. Take care.
