I was in a major accident on 4/6/07. A car t-boned my vehicle, throwing my car two lanes over, into a spin and hitting curbside. I was hit on the drivers side car door, very hard. My body went to the right as I held the wheel, the airbags came out, I had a seatbelt on. My car door hit me (my arms on the wheel) right under my arm on the side of my breast and where the ribs are under there. I now feel a popping in there with movements and of course, bruised feeling and much soreness when I cough or sneeze or even clear my throat. Emergency room says no fractures anywhere, but could this popping be a floating rib? Or ligament popping? The follow up doctor told me there was nothing they could do about it. Will this popping stop if it is a floating rib? The popping didn't start until 3 days after the accident.
