Can the chest ribs be asymmetrical?i feel the first right rib(the bone right below the right clavicle) is more protruding than the left rib. problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds normal: Nobody's body is perfectly symmetrical. Some people require differnt shoe sizes on each foot, women may require differnt bra cup sizes, and ribs may protrude more on one side than the other -- etc, etc, etc. This doesn't sound like something tow orry about. But discuss with your doctor if you remain concerned.
