[|Human|] Hello, A few weeks ago I noticed a bloating feeling in my Oblique/Pelvic area (where a muscular V would be) on my left side. A few weeks later I noticed swelling and something protruding out of that same area. Alarmed, I went for a colonoscopy and endoscopy... Nothing out of the ordinary there except a few ulcers (I m only 19 but I m waiting on the test results). Now, Ive noticed that there s mild pain (3 or 4 out of a 10) and all of a sudden my Ribs on that same side are now also sticking out more! If I suck in all the air and stick my chest out it is very noticeable and on the bottom where the Ribcage ends, that same left side is extended down lower (feels like an extra few ribs or something of that nature) now I m just trying to figure out where to go from here. Again I m only 19 (Male), I DID break my ribs in football about 2 years ago so I m not sure if that s how it heals or whatever that process might be, but I m sure I would have noticed before now. I do drink socially, never smoked or did drugs and I ve always been an athlete, but since around June I just feel like the wheels are falling off on the inside of me. If ANYBODY can give me some insight it would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.
