Posting for traffic.

DD18 was stretching on the sofa and I just noticed one rib was quite prominent, mauch more than the other one. Never noticed it before and she has never mentioned anything. Just asked her and she said it has been like this since lockdown/just grew like this. It is the bottom of the ribs on one side.

Is this normal?

I suffer from health anxiety unfortunately so these things worry me.

Thank you. She is not worried, I am. Will check with the dr. She said it has been like this since lockdown, I will check with the dr.

we can all be a bit asymmetrical. But if you’re both concerned ask a doctor. FWIW perhaps she has pectus carinatum. It could be completely harmless but it’s worth checking out in case it means she has a connective tissue disorder.
