So sorry this happened Ford. Would a chiropractor be of any help with movements or a brace that might help prevent this? I hope it mends soon.

I have a back brace but it doesn't fit this high on the chest. I asked one of my girls to try to get to a pharmacy to get a couple of large square patch-type bandages.

Chiropractors can't treat osteoporosis. They treat muscle and tissue issues.

Oh wow Ford, I am so very, very, sorry that this happened to you.

I bet that you were in horribly agonizing pain. I hope that the pain will get better for you on its own. This pain must be really difficult, on top of the pain you already have to deal with, too.

That does really stink, with your move coming up.

A gentle hug for you, from me to you, that you feel better soon.

Thank you northernlights.

Ford, I'm so sad hearing this. You are a strong woman to 'fix' it how you did. I would've had a freaking panic attack. I'm not kidding you. And I know that wouldn't help things.

If you are moving, you must not lift one finger. You will have to have someone else do it all. I mean don't even pack Q-tips! Why take the chance of doing something right before a big move? Be careful if it's that touch and go.

Is there any way a brace or a compression garment/bandage type thing could help? I don't know maybe that would be worse for the nature of this happening. Just trying to think of something that would help.

Be careful Ford!

I will be careful.

That has to be so scary. Sounds like this has happened before so at least you knew what was going on. I don't know what I would have thought.

One can get used to practically anything.

One thing my mom was not able to do for me was being able to teach me how to get old by just getting older herself. Unfortunately, she died of lung cancer when she was only 49.

I hope I answered everyone. Thank you for your kind wishes.

What the OP said is exactly what happens to my back. Think about it, every nerve in your body goes through your spine. When my vertebra comes down over the nerve and muscles, it is unbelievable pain.

It happens constantly. After 12 years of this I know how to reset it, but it pops right back out again.

There isn't an operation that can fix it. So far nothing has helped. Many Drs many operations, nothing fixes it.

I have never heard of ribs dislocating! You poor thing, I can only imagine the pain! Take care and keep us updated.
