A member asked:
The left side of my rib cage sucks out noticeably more than the right. is this worrying?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rib cage: Many people have assymetry in their rib cage which is generally normal. However assymetry that is changing, increasing in size, or is associated with pain, redness, warmth, fevers should be checked. Another thing to check would be for scoliosis of the back which could cause the ribs to be displaced.
