I would go to the hospital. If its that high up and you try yourself, you could end up breaking and possibly puncturing a lung or something

If you wanted to slide it back in yourself, this. If you can wait it out, just go to a doctor.

The ribs high up on the cage are connected in the middle. It sounds to me that you cracked the rib near the center and it never reattached so it moves around. If not I am always pulling the muscle covering and in between my ribs. It's hurts to the point where it's hard to breathe

Yeah, I wouldn't try to do it yourself. Puncturing a lung would hurt a lot more.

I've done this a many of times in different places in my ribcage.

it's not really something you can fix yourself. if it's a front rib, you should go to the doctor cause that shit dangerous. If it's a back or side rib go get some physio and they should be able to work your shit back in to place, not instantly though.

stretch a lot but make sure you're doing it the right way, or you'll fuck it up more.

i've wrecked my ribs more times than i can count. i wouldn't fuck with going to the hospital or the doctor. they aren't going to do shit for the problem other than maybe prescribe some muscle relaxers. you need to see a chiro to get that shit put back in place. i know they're closed, but unfortunately it's not really something you can do yourself.

don't go to the hospital or an md, that is like asking a sumo wrestler to help you with skiing

go chiro or physio, if you have to wait because they're not open i would lie on flat ground (stomach,back and sides) do light stretching and try to move things back where they should be, you can get rid of some pain on your own if lucky haha.
