I had rib pain for months during chemo, radiation and herceptin. Doctor finally gave me a CAT scan. That was scary. It showed healing broken ribs, arthritis, etc. I am sure the radiation weakened my ribs. I know coughing from a respiratory infection I got while on chemo probably cracked a rib. I expect that Herceptin and arimidex contributed to the aches. I bet you are just fine, but it's always good to tell the doctor about your concerns.
