I have a condition that is not very well known from what I can tell. I have had my costosternal ligaments separated from my sternum due to stretching my back by placing my hands in a fist behind my spine and pushing forward (therefore receiving a "pop" up my spine to relieve pressure). Doing this on one occassion about 2 years ago, I felt my sternum pop. Since then i have seen two doctors and a PT. Each says it's the costosternal ligaments either separated or a rib out of place on the anterior and posterior insertions. However, each stated there wasn't anything they knew I could do to help "fix" the problem. Any ideas? It hurts often and pops quite a bit while I am getting off of the floor from playing with my children and I'm only 35 and very active, so I'm a little worried. Thanks for any help or input!

I've looked all over the internet and do not see any treatments for it.
