A member asked:
Hi! my left rib sticks out for some reason, doctor said it was a deformity and told me it was most likely genetic and i shouldnt worry about it, is there any other doctor that can agree with his statement? just curious?

Your ribs emerge forward from your vertebrae . They are normally stacked straight like dominoes, but if one or more vertebrae have an edge rotated forward the rib it supports will project forward on that side and withdraw a little from the other. The finding usually causes no important problems. I know of no treatment. It is how your body formed.
