Question I woke up this morning and turned over and I felt and heard my ribs crack or cave in. Can you tell me what causes that to happen and can it be fixed.
Answer It is possible that you misaligned a rib with the rolling over motion. If conditions are just right, it is very easy to do. Usually, with a rib misalignment, you can have pain with a deep breath. I would suggest finding a good chiropractor to assess it and treat it, and also to rule out a fracture.
