Can a rib be out of place only slightly for along time?

I had a slip and fall about 9 years ago. Afterwards I've not been able to wear a brazier without causing major spasms all around the ribcage. I thought it was due to scar tissue in the rib area muscle on the side I came down on with my hand, but now that I feel around my rib protrudes right where I thought it was only scar tissue. But otherwise I've have chronic cervical and shoulder girdle sensitivity, spasm, instability for many years. Could this rib be tied in? I didn't know ribs could move?

I'm less inclined to think the cause of your pain is the ribs, and more curious about the impact that slip/fall had on your spine. Spinal issues can lead to pain in the rib area, so receiving an evaluation from a reputable chiropractor in your area would be wise.
