Protuding lower ribs are normal?!


Question:

Protuding lower ribs are normal?

Im a male, 17 years old, it doesn't hurt, i just hate that whenever I lie down facing upward i can see the peaks.

It just makes me feel weak, i do situps, but it doent help


Answers:

you have 12 ribs on each side... the lower pair (1 on each side) are floating ribs which means that they dont connect to anything on the front of your body.

it is likely though that the ribs sticking out are the ones above these, the false ribs... there is nothing wrong with them sticcking out when you lie down mate, trust me ;-)
