Protruded Lower Rib, Increasing And Causing Pain During Physical Activity. What Is The Cause?
I am 15 years old and for the past four years or so I have noticed that my lower left rib sticks out. Over the years, it has begun to stick out more but it now has begun to hurt me for about the last year and a half. It only hurts during any type of physical activity. I have gone to the doctor and had to get a ct scan yesterday as was suggested. I go back tomorrow to see what the results are. Any suggestions as to what this is and why it never hurt me before but now does?

Protruded Lower Rib, Increasing And Causing Pain During Physical Activity. What Is The Cause?
Hi Thanks for asking. Most likely it related to the musculoskeletal system, either because of the rapid growth in the growing years, there can be bony pains. Also a muscular cause of this can not be ruled out. It is very likely to be related to chest/heart. Thanks.
