question: Hi, I am 38 years old female. I have sore point under my right breast on the rib cage. When I run my fingers down this rib bone I find one huge knot and multiple smaller knots along this one rib bone. I experience nagging pain off and on. The pain remains for a while ie upto a month when it sets in, but resolves after much massaging, heat pads not cold pads (aggravate). I like to keep this area compressed against chair or bed as it provides relief. The pain seems to radiate to my elbow (golfer's elbow side) and to my little and next finger. It also radiates to my shoulder and neck on my right side. I have had it for 8 years now. This time pain is worst of all. I have had x-rays, MRI ( only to elbow)...but showed up nothing of significance. This is because initially the loci of pain was in elbow and golfer's elbow was suspected. Now the loci is the rib.
