Bones on right rib cage near sturnum are bigger than left & stick out. rarely i wake up w/ back pain but goes away after i get up. is it sciolosis?

Could be: or you are sleeping in a "twisted" position...scoliosis does not "go away" This sounds like it could be easily resolved by a physical examination! Speak with your PCP (Primary Care Provider) Hope this helps! Dr Z
