8. Popping or Grinding
A fractured rib can be caused by a variety of injuries. The same injury can occur to multiple bones at once. The rib cage is made up of several ribs, and they can all be broken at the same time.
You may also experience a grinding or popping sensation, depending on the type of injury and what’s happening under the skin. Some types of fractures or breaks can cause a popping or grinding sensation when you use or exercise the rib muscles.
You should have your ribs examined immediately if you experience this symptom to determine if the injury has caused any additional problems. This could mean that the fracture needs to be corrected.
