Guest^^ 'Although like most of you, mine doesnt hurt. And not only that but i can move it. I get to push it outwards or suck it in. Its really weird but unique. I do work out so my chest blends in.' Im 14 too and mine doesn't hurt, it's really annoying and ive had it since i was born. How much does yours blend in? Is it visible with no top? :)
my dude i got the same sh1t and it keeps me from socializing with other kids and b1tchez and my self confadence is gone. ive seen doctors to and im pretty certian that im getting the surgury done, the surgury is jus cosmedic its really not a big deal. my family always says its no big deal but every kid from my school thats seen it is always like wtf!! is that damn and freak out i no whats its like to have this sh1t if ur insurence covers the surgury and it bothers you that much then i say go for it
I have this too. Dont worry about it. If you work your pecks out no one will notice. It also over exaggerates your pecks. Alot of girls come over to me and ask me about my muscles and all and how I go there and then show them that i just have a screwd up chest and its not that big. But ull get bit***s from it. Take my advice
I've also got this, It is quite annoying... my friends call it my alien :L i just go along with it, it doesn't bother me that much but i think i might get bigger as i grow :/
yeah,i have a pectus problem,i am 43.
I didn't read all the post so sorry if this information has already been posted.
pectus carinatum is the condition . My son also has this. It took a while to find someone who would treat it. We were fortunate after going to an appointment at a children's hospital we were referred to a Shriners Hospital that specializes in fixing this problem. My son just received his brace. It will need to be worn for around a year and a half up to 23 hours a day. But the success rate is great. The options we were given were live with it, surgery or the brace. The brace needs to be worn while you are still growing, because the chest is still movable. So don't wait to long and keep searching till you find someone who can see you .
i have the same thing but i am a girl ..
I play basketball and it doesn't feel right when people push against my chest... It sucks
I play basketball and it feels really embarrassing when people push against my chest... It suck
Hi, I have the same thing and people have started noticing me with it and Iam also having these weird breathing anxiety attack things it suuuuucks!!!!!
I have the thing nd i went to the doctor and its really bad, one side of my chest is bigger than the other but the doctor said she can give me a jacket that holds my ribs together and make them even. btw im 15 and 5'8 :)
I have the EXACT same thing :( my chest sticks out A LOT and i dont like it, im a 15 year old male and its been bugging me since about 7th grade ever since my friends asked me why my chest stuck out so much, they never meant it with any offense they were just curious, and not only that but i have scoliosis as well which only makes me feel even more depresed, i really HATE how my chest looks, all stuck out and stupid looking, and i know people say that looks arent everything, but it would be nice to be normal and confident for once in my life. I never really have been happy with these stupid problems, scoliosis is a problem with your spine, its not how it should, wether your upper back makes you looked hunched even though you really aren't hunched thats just how your spine is (like me) and this stupid chest problem being so stuck out, ive always asked doctors and have gone to profesionals too, and they all say thats its not a big deal, well yea to them it isn't because they aren't the ones withthis problem, i have to suffer from this stupid problem, i only feel a little pain in my chest when i have been laying down on flat on my stomach for a little while, i really HATE how it looks and ive told the doctors EVERYTHING but they never give me direct answers on how to fix it,just execises to straighten out my stupid back, so i know exactly how you feel dude, it sucks being different from everyone else and it would most definitely feel good to be proud of how I look for once in my life, so i hope you find a way to fix it dude, look for specialists and ask your parents to find some, I wish i could have you as well as me, but i can't, i have to suffer from all this too dude, so im in the exact situation as you are. I'm not going to lie i've actually cried multiple times because out of the one life that everyone gets a chance to live in, mine had to be ruined, i never get to be happy, so it would have been nice to be truly happy for once in my life
It's not to late. We were referred to Shriners Hospital for Children . My son was 15. He has a brace now. It didn't cost us anything. It is not just for low income families Shiners will help anyone. If you can't get a doctor to refer you, call them on your own until you get the right department to help you. Don't Give Up. There is help out there.
wat i did was i started working out on my chest and make the muscles even with the bone plus if ur worried u wont get gurl with it well not true gurls will think its cute if u tell them like i got bigger boobs than u and sh*t plus if a gurl really likes she well like for u not ur bone ;)
I have the same thing since I can remember. Im going to tattoo all over my chest to get the attention away from the deformity. Ha
