I have some. I never knew I had them, though of course they must have always been there but now, they let themselves be known! I love them, even though they freak me out a little.

I reach up to scratch an itch on my neck or rub my moisturiser in or adjust my bra strap and BOOM! I hit a W/T/F moment as my hand hits this weird, large, protruding bone! I haven't gotten used to it yet. I LOVE how I can see them now when I look in the mirror even if I am still unprepared for when I feel them sticking out like they do. Like they are meant to.

An unexpected little NSV. Collarbones. I can sit here and play with them :-)

I had a similar moment.. except I thought I'd developed some sort of calcified growth in my pelvic area. In total horror and mild panic, I reached for my partners hand to drag it to the location. With total bemusement, he uttered 'thats your hip bone, baby'. Now, there's an expensive education for you down the toilet! <I do molest myself regularly as a consequence now >

I laughed too much at this!!!

As I laid down last night in bed. I found not only my ribs but the little tab between my ribs at the top. I forget the name of it. A thought came to mind that if someone had to do CPR on me. It would be easier. Lol. Strange thought I know.

Haha. I found a little bump where my ribs meet at the bottom of my chest and first thing I thought "Cancer!" Thought the same thing about the lump on my right collarbone. My doctor managed to keep a straight face while telling me both were normal at my age (57).

Also, my elbows bumped my hipbones a lot when sitting before I got used to them poking out.

I'm wide hipped, so I also have a huge gap between my thighs when standing.

So true about the collar bones and hip bones. i've also noticed cheek bones. The other bone i'm feeling a lot lately is my tail bone and it really hurts when sitting on the floor to do exercises. I guess I always had a lot of cushion there before now it hurts to sit on a hard surface.

I can totally agree with the bump between my ribs at the bottom (xiphoid process).

I actually went to see my doctor stating I found a lump. He didn't keep a straight face

I still say it was never this big, I have been thin before and don't remember noticing it.

I like my collar bones too.

Lynda- you just made me laugh out loud on the cancer "scare". Oh to have thigh gap! The dream!

I remember collar bones as one of my first nsv however my hip bones just confused me. I couldn't figure what they were, I thought something was wrong with me.

and the inside of my kneecaps are hard. if I lay on my side with legs together they actually hurt a bit! no cushioning (or not as much!) in fact if I sit with knees touching there is daylight between upper thighs. I don't remember having that even when I weighed much less than this! the things we appreciate now - collarbones, kneecaps, ribs, hip bones - a appreciate my skeleton so much more now. it used to have to carry around 100+ more pounds! it is about time I appreciated it!
