What Is A Protruding Bone In The Left Side Of Rib Cage Suggestive Of?
I ve recently had a lot of issues with a wisdom tooth infection that eventually infected my tonsils too. Then I noticed that the left side of my rib cage seems to almost be separating itself from where it s supposed to be, the right side is flat and normal and my left side sticks out and the bones just don t look or feel right. I ve felt no pain but I know something isn t right, could this be from the infection I have in my mouth? Or is it a completely different issue?

As you explain the situation, in my opinion, this is not a problem. It might a normal variant and especially if you have no pain or other signs and symptoms no problem. However, just to be sure talk with your doctor for it to see closely.
