skeletal system out of alignment

   After an injury, the skeletal bones keep moving. The hips move upwards to the neck and sideways, and the same thing goes for the ribs. Is  there anything which can be done to stop this. Something seems to  be pu;;ing the skeletal bones out of place

In my research I have seen reference to someone dislocating their sternum after falling or being hit on their shoulder. It sounds like you might want to check this is not the cause of your problems as it is a very rare injury - so rare that doctors are unlikely to look for it and many may not know it is possible.

I displaced the top of my sternum (sterno-manubrial dislocation) in April 2004 but didn't know this is what I had done until it 'came loose' in August 2010. The top of my sternum was sitting horizontal with the SC Joint pointing forward instead of vertical with the SC Joint at the top so my whole shoulder girdle was pulled forwards.

Early on there was almost no pain in my chest but a lot of upper back pain and I couldn't put my shoulders down (worse on the left). Over time I developed a lot of very strange symptoms that I had trouble describing and that nobody could make sense of but it basically felt like my skeletal system was 'twisted' in some way. This is what drew my attention to your question.  My hip girdle was tilted forward and thus might also have been described as 'wider' and my ribcage was pulled upwards more on the left and seemed to change shape with my top ribs often sticking out on the left side. I had a lot of problems with my jaw and it felt like the roof of my mouth and my skull bones moved around but the most relentless symptom I had was a feeling of pulling behind my nose. It was all very strange at the time but every single symptom has now been fully explained.

Good luck. Please let me know if you find an answer as I know how difficult it can be to have a bunch of strange things going on that you can't really describe.

The door hit the side of my head and uppe body. After this occurred the bones of the skeletal system moved out of place. The hip bones and ribs widened, and continue to do, moving upwards and to the side
