Pigeon Chest. What Could Be Done?
I have a chest that sticks out I believe it is called a pigeon chest. I am currently 16 years of age and I have tried various gym exercises to try get rid of it. It doesn't look nice as you can mostly see it through clothes I wear. It can sometimes hurt but I'm not sure why. I was wondering if there is anything doctors can do about this?
