I have had rib pain that comes and goes for the past 20 years. I ultimately learned that it was related to a scoliosis and referred from the back. It would be worse during pregnancy or after a lot of bending and stooping such as doing the gardening. Last year I was getting it more and more (despite not gardening or being pregnant)and was sure it meant the cancer had spread to the spine, though the Xrays said not. Miraculously it has all gone since having my second mastectomy... so I guess it was all related to the weight asymmetry of being lop sided. (And I thought my husband was just kidding when he told me I'd have to give up riding my bicycle or I'd find myself going round in circles by being so unbalanced.)
