What Causes Protrusion Of Ribs In The Lower Chest?
This is regarding my daughter, almost 25 years old. Her lower rib, I believe on the left side, has been protruding out for the last 4-6 months. There is some discomfort at times with it, maybe more after a big meal. She went to her Dr. and had it xrayed and checked. She didn t have a definitive answer and didn t think it was anything serious. My daughter feels it is getting worse now.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to protrusion of the ribs. I suggest to see a chiropractor. They may do stretching or a massage. They will then use gentle but firm pressure to realign the rib back into place.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
