Hi guys, I’m 5 days post op from slipped rib suture fixation (4 ribs). Today I felt a distinct click like a rib moved out of place, caused sharp pinching pain, then clicked back and the pain immediately improved. I have felt it a few times but not as very obvious as this where I had to move for it to go back. Did anyone else experience this and should I worry that my surgery failed? I don’t know if it’s supposed to take time for the ribs to stabilize after the surgery or not. I know that most people don’t have 100% symptoms relief for a year but I don’t know what symptoms that is talking about though.
And if slipping/clicking should still be happening?
