A member asked:

My left side below breast where ribs start sticks out further than right side. my family doctor said it was normal to have one side uneven. is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Although it may be close, one side of our body is never exactly identical to the other, and occasionally the differences are pretty obvious. Of course sometimes a difference may be important, but this does not sound like that is the case and i would rely on your family doctor's opinion.
