Right Side Rib Cage With Noticable, Deep Gap When Stomach Sucked In. No Bone Felt When Poked, Severe Pain. Normal?

I have a gap in my ribcage. Not in between the ribs, but the tips where they all connect. On my right side. If I suck in my stomach, the left side has the smooth line of the bottom of the rib cage. But the right side has a seriousle noticeable and deep gap. If I poke into it, I feel no bone or anything, and it hurts,a lot. What's the deal?

Hi, it appears to be the apprehension you are feeling, the pain could be due to gastric hyper acidity. Still if you have doubt you consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
I to my patient with such pain prescribe omeprazole, domperidone, and antasid gel . Thank you.
