What Causes Unusual Movement In The Left Rib Cage?
Hello Doctor,I recently discovered that if I apply pressure to a certain spot on my left ribcage, something moves; it does not happen to my right. Even if I look in a mirror my left ribcage sticks out more than my right. I asked a phychiatrist and he said a swollen organ may be pressing against my ribcage. Should I be worried?
