question: Hi I had a mining accident in 2002. My ribs have been popping out of my back in the left shoulder blade area. Not one doctor has ever told me what it is. It s pretty painful and happens frequently. I had major shoulder surgery last May because the MRI was misread in 2004 and I have a neck injury also as a result of the fall. I fell sideways and basically tore everything. I was told it was Hypermobility? I have all of the medical reports as well to better explain.
