Turkeygirl Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 So I've always had this funny rib thing, as long as I can remember. Although I almost swear I didn't have it until I was fishing and tripped over a log and fell on my pole and fish:eek: My lower right rib cage, it's almost like I have a dent in it but maybe more like one rib sticking out more than the others, I dunno. I think it's more like one rib sticks out a little more because if I breathe in really deep, the dent just about disappears. No, I don't think it's scoliosis. When I had my physical for college, the dumb Nurse practitioner said I had a slight scoliosis on my left side I think. I went to the chiropractor and my mom asked him about it. He said it was slight if anything and more related to the fact that my right hip was out of alignment, which was why I was there. He also said, for those who don't know, that everyone tends to have slight scoliosis because of being right handed or left handed - muscles are stronger on that side. I was also wondering, being that I am a twin, if it wasn't from development...like ym sister's head was in my way:rolleyes: Whatever... Several years back I also fell off our old pony on that side. No, I did not break a rib that I know of...I know I would have been in pain if I had. So just wondering if anyone knows anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nativetexan Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Does it hurt? Is it preventing you from doing something? Does it stick out and make people wonder if you are from a different planet? If not, I wouldn't worry about it. Consider it a party trick. Like my double jointed shoulders. Freaks people out the things I can do. If it is a concern, then I would definitely seek some more opinions from doctors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 i'd ask a doctor about what it is. probably nothing, but no need to worry about it. just ask the next doctor you see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted December 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Nah, never had a problem with it. My mom is like don't worry about it. It's not really noticeable to anyone else unless I point it out at point blank range,lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nut Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I breathe in really deep, the dent just about disappears. Maybe if you hold your breath alot it would get fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Dont know Ruth. Guess if it is not bothering you, would not worry about it. If it ever gets to bothering you though, would get it checked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Maybe it's a tumor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Can't remember where I saw or read this, but rib cage deformities are pretty common I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrswtnhunt Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I wouldn't worry much about it unless it gives you problems. BTW, how was clinicals the other day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Hmmmm.........like others have said...if it doesn't bother you then I wouldn't stress out about it. Heck, I can pull my arm out of socket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
