What Are The 2 Lumps On The Either Side Of My Ribs?
I believe I have a extra set of ribs. Near my belly I have 2 lumps either side that feel like bone. They produce no pain (I can t feel them) but they are causing me stress. When I lie down, you see 2 large bones sticking out of my body. Are these what I think they are and can they be removed?

Hello,
It is prominent rib contour and it is quite normal.
It is not of any clinical significance and no treatment is required either.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
