I had a back brace for 3 years, now (almost two years later) my mom noticed my back ribs poke out, but its not my ribs, if you feel both sides of my back ribs, my left ones are normal, you can feel the ribs. On the right side, its almost like there is something slimy between my ribs and skin, so you can't feel the ribs as well as you can on the left side. I'm kind of concerned. I don't know what it is or what I should do. My aunt told me I should see a dr. my dad said to do back excercises and see if it goes away.
