Why is my lower rib sticking out?

Answer by  patti (29325)

The prominence of the lower ribs is purely an issue of anatomy and genetics. Some people have lower ribs that jut out and are especially noticeable when lying on their backs. There are reports of women who have had the lower ribs removed in order to minimize the size of the waist.

Your lower rib could be sticking out as a result of an injury or it could just be the way you are standing and or holding yourself.

The lower rib is attached by cartilage and i think thats what is sticking out and many think the rib is sticking out, the cartilage is a flexible membrane and can take a different shape from time to time , i suggest you use a corset to try and fix this problem which you dont' have to worry about.
