I have been noticing that my ribcage is not symmetrical at all. When I suck in my stomach, the left side of the ribs can easily be seen, as it seems to stick out, and looks normal. The right side, however, does not stick out at all, and is completely flat. It also seems to be longer than the left, and almost like I have more bones. This is something that I have noticed when I was a little girl as well... I never thought it was a big deal, really, but I showed my parents yesterday, and my mom immediately said I need to make an appointment for the doc. I asked her if she noticed anything when I was a baby, and she said that everything was normal. I've done some research to get a good idea on maybe what it could be, but the closest thing I am getting to is scoliosis... and that's just odd. There's nothing else wrong with me, except for the ribcage. So, I'm not sure if I should think it's scoliosis or not. All I can do is guess for now anyway. should I be worried?
Answer:
Hey,
you know what - I have exactly the same thing - on the same side too! I noticed it about 4 years ago, but I would imagine it's been like it for a lot longer - if not always! I wouldn't worry about it - I don't!!
Unless your spine has a slight curvature, its probably not scoliosis. I wouldn't be too concerned.. nobody is perfectly symmetrical. One of my hips is higher than the other and it doesn't bother me at all.
OMG I feel so bad for you! I think you should really just go to the doctors. You might have damaged your ribs! Hopefully itrs nothing really serious!!
Good Luck
PS. I'll pray for you
