I agree. Scoliosis can cause rib twisting for sure. Mine look very different on each side. Left comes to a point and right is very flat and rounded at bottom. I too have had lots of pain and misery from scoliosis.

Hi, I also have this deformity and I am now 53. I have had an occassion years ago where they thought I had a collapsed lung but that's when my GP said it's just your rib cage. Basically, as you get older, he said it may begin to effect the organs that lie beneath it. So far it's just ugly haha cause I'm a woman the sharp bend is below my breast so I can kind of hide it but if I breath in everyone sees it and asks about it. I'm interested to hear what other people will be told. Thanks for your post, it's just funny it always seems to be the left side?

i have this problem on my right side. its why i ended up here. my left rib cage is basically fine but my right is missing the hard bit on inside where it connects in the middle of the chest, i have really curvy ribs at the bottom and i have similar deformations around my body, including now additional lumps and bumps on my collar bones and a lump inside my nose. but tests come back normal... awaiting blood test results... seems to have gotten worse as i got older but i am also recovering from malnutrition..

I don't know about that. I have this exact same thing oddly enough but my ribs actually cave in on my right side after sticking out in the front. It's like it caves in forcing the front to stick out. In my years in puberty I wore a lot of corsets really really tight while my ribs were developing because I was a costume freak and I've been thinking that that's what's been screwing up my ribs.

Possible causes
Scoliosis
Pectus excavatum
Pectus carinatum
Born with extra ribs
Get x-rays done and tell you doc about these possibilities^^^^^^
Also avoid carrying a backpack on one shoulder

I have the same thing and it's on the left side of my ribs too it's been bothering me for about 5-6 months and I haven't yet talked to the doctor about it, but after reading it seems to be pretty normal

I have the same issue But on my right side, I am very thin 5'4 102lbs and it feels like when I bend down my bone gets stuck on another one and I am unable to move and it causes great pain. I though that it may have something to do with my scoliosis and I decided to wear a back brace that is much like a corset it moved my bone somehow (wasn't even that tight at all) and caused much more pain to wear I wasn't crying at work. So corsets might not help everyone.
