Popping feeling in ribswhen laying on hard floor.

A sternum fracture or break in the breastbone is usually caused by direct trauma to the bone. Sometimes you might walk across your floors and hear a popping or creaking noise. The sound happens when a plank becomes loose and the nail rubs against the subfloor. If you re hearing a snapping or popping sound when you stretch your rib cage it is most likely your breast bone or sternum popping.

If your floors are nailed down to the subfloor the popping noise could be coming from the nails. You will need to take it easy for a week or two so it has time to heal. The swelling of the joints associated with sternum fractures can cause popping in this area as well. While this doesn t mean your floors are defective there are various reasons it can occur.

Slipping rib syndrome occurs when the ligaments holding the ribs in place move cause the ribs to shift or slip slipping rib syndrome is more likely to occur in women than men.
