Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is A Visible Gap On The Lower Left Side Of The Rib Cage A Concern?
This might sound really odd, but it’s like one of my ribs have moved. On the lower left side of my rib cage there is a visible gap that wasn’t there before- I didn’t notice when it happened because it didn’t hurt, but my question here is; what’s going on?
I feel simply you noticed it now. I hope you know rib cage is not exactly like box and lower ribs go upward to insert into breast bone. You might be feeling that gap. For better understanding see rib cage fro front under Google images
