What Could Cause Pain And Sticking Out Of Left Side Of Rib Cage?
Hi. I am 20 years old and a female. The left side of my rib cage sticks out in the front. I never paid it much attention until recently as it seems to have progressively worsened in the degree of sticking out alongside quite severe pain I have been having off and on in my back on the middle-upper left side. I have never seen a doctor over this. But should I?
