Hi everyone,
19 y/o female here,
About a year ago I noticed one of my ribs appears to be larger than the rest. I think it’s the third rib down, it sticks out quite a bit (am quite skinny so it easily visible) and has been a little painful but not a lot.
It definitely wasn’t there before and i’m starting to get really worried about it. Waiting for X ray results to come back from the docs but i’m so scared that it’s going to be bone cancer etc and I won’t know the results for at least a week so i’m going crazy with worry.
Has anyone else had a similar thing? Would be great to know that there are benign conditions out there that could cause this.
Thanks :)

Also it’s about my 3rd rib down on the left side.
