Left Rib Large Than Right Rib - Normal Or Problem?? Posted: 05-20-05 16:56pm


Hi, ever since I was born I remeber my left rib always "sticks out" more compared to my right rib cage, its the bone right at the buttom of the left rib cage that I am reffering to. Since i'm now a teen, I tend to notice it sligthly more - I was wondering if this is a normal abnormability amonst certain people or is there something wrong behind the left rib cage?

I'm not sure but if it helps, I can say that all my ribs kin of "stick out" a little from my body. A few may be more prominent that the rest. Like the skin is thinner there or something maybe? Hope its nothing serious. Take care. If you find any info let me know please.

Larger rib on one side Posted: 07-11-08 19:53pm


I have been noticing this more also. I have scoliosis and I know that is why my left side rib sticks out alot more then my right. Also on my back my left side sticks out more. I'm wondering if there is anything I can do for this?! Its very noticeable! To me at least.....
