I was in the urgent care department back on 1/19 and that experience was GREAT.  At that time I had X-Rays of my back and ribs and they cam out clear.    A week later I had a bad coughing fit which significantly increased the pain in my ribs and also started making a "popping" sound.  So I set up this appointment for 1/29.  During this appointment the Dr. told me ribs heal on their own and there is nothing more to do.  I asked what the popping and sliding sensation I was feeling could be caused from and the Dr. only answered that she could not answer that.    She listened to my breathing and barely even evaluated my back/ribs.  Only upon further questions/insistence to have an X-ray done again did she order it and it turns out that I do now have a fracture. She also referred me to an Ortho in case I have additional questions.  Turns out both Ortho Locations recommended do not work with Ribs.  Then the follow up from her Nurse told me no need to see an ortho as the fracture will heal on its own. Still no explanation to the popping or if I should follow up in any way later.  Very dissatisfied.
