Does anyone have a permanent solution for popped out ribs?

I have 3 upper back thoracic ribs permanently popped out. I see a D.O. He manually pushes them back in place,. Within a day or a couple of days they are popped back out. I am told there is nothing that can be done. I am in horrid pain. Common sense tells me something can be done. This has been  going on for years. I previously had spine surgery disktomy fusion on C6 - C7. Please help

Hi,,,may I ask do you have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome? I ask this because my ribs pop out and I am able to get them back into place.....I was also DX'd with  EDS and told that is the reason I have this issue,
