Ribs

I've noticed that when I lay down my left floating ribs protrude further then my right. Any reason for this specific to SCI, sitting all day, etc?

It's probably due to the spinal curvatures. It also could be due to different muscle strength on one side versus the other. It's not anything to be worried about.

ah.. had me going.. I was just skimming titles and saw "Ribs".
Thought for a moment (until I read what it was about.. ) that perhaps we had another post by Wolfeman... now I'm hungry.
