Question
I had a rib dislocate and a chiropractor re-located it. the severe pain stopped mostly unless I lay on it for too long. the problem is it goes numb and tingly often, more so when I am using my right arm. the dislocated rib is on my back about bra level. this has been going on about 3 weeks.

Answer
Pam,
I'm not clear on what your question is. Sounds like a dislocated rib that hasn't been resolved. I would go back to the chiropractor and have him/her work on it 3x/week until all numbness/discomfort resolves. Unfortunately once you pop a rib out of alignment, it is prone to happening again, so you've got to baby it for some time until it heals completely.
