My best pal and childhood friend recently gave us a really big fright the last week, when she found a mass on the side of her abdomen.she had an ultra-sound done and after what seemed forever, they found that it was just an unusually bigger floating rib.
Sigh of relief and a laugh.
She's a bit abnormal in that sense after all.
for a clearer description of what floating ribs are, here's the wiki:
======================
Floating ribs are four atypical ribs (two lowermost pairs, XI-XII) in the human ribcage. They are called so because they are attached to the vertebrae only, and not to the sternum or cartilage coming off of the sternum. Some people are missing one of the two pairs. Others have a third pair. Most, however, possess only two pairs
Their position can be permanently altered by a form of body modification called tightlacing, which uses a corset to compress and move the ribs.
maybe she needs to wear corsets, haha she has a third rib i guess . .
