My ribs have been sore and achy the past couple of weeks. I have costochondritis but that usually hurts me in the middle of my chest. This is more close to where my underwire in my bra rests.

I wear underwire most of the time but have a couple of all elastic with no hooks for when costo flairs. Can’t stand the underwire then. Worth it.
Yes I do have rib pain, knots under skin and Costochondritis too. I sure can sympathize with you. The Costochondritis and the rib pain is very painful.
My costocontritis can even go round my back. Try getting a soft crop top type bra and wearing that instead for a bit.
My ribs have been bothering me for years now. The worst area is under my arms and going towards my spine. Wearing a bra is torture for me.
I think I have those lumps too!! Mine run along just a little below the ribs along most of of the ribs!! Very sore and tender to touch!! I was once told they may be Little Lymphoma’s!! but like you they didn’t seem to concerned!! Still not sure if that’s exactly what they are??
