A member asked:
Is it normal for my ribs to feel bigger on one side.. my rib under my right breast feels bigger than under the left?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is hard to determine without an exam and tests (x-rays). Sometimes the vertebrae (where ribs start) in your back are rotated some, clockwise or counterclockwise which results in a rib on one side thrusting forward & the other back. It could be something else. Talk with your doc at a regular visit if it bothers you.
