I have noticeable swelling on the left side of my rib cage and my left front rib cage is sticking out further than the right. Chest and rib X-ray normal, MRI shows nothing. An abdominal ultrasound showed only multiple benign liver cysts. All my labs are normal. I have abdominal discomfort but not pain.  I dont understand why my left side is swollen.
Namaste Welcome to Chat Doctor Greetings of the day Your left side may be swollen because of gastric distension, and your symptoms could also be related to it. No intervention is required for your liver cyst, if they are small and regular.  I hope You’re tumor marker like alpha fetoprotein are also normal. Wishing you a healthy life. Take care Regards
