Will Additional Bone On The Rib Cage Cause Any Problem?
hi, my daughter has had something like an additional bone on her rib cage/ breast bone ?? since she was a baby, when ı first realized it i showed the pediatrician who said that its nothing to worry about.. now she is 16 and the bone is now under her breast, would this mean any problems for the future ?

thanks for your question
I completely understand your question
as long as it is stable and does not grow , or compress any of the vital organs , no need to worry .
if it grows and compresses any vital organs or gives pain or any other symptoms due to compression then you need to take action otherwise no problem
thanks
dont worry
feel free to ask more questions
may god bless your family with good health
