		 I just wanted to pop in this thread again. I went to see my ONC. last week, and it seems that I have chondrocostitis (inflammed rib cartilage). Not sure what causes it, but stress can be a factor. They prescribed me prescription strength Motrin. 
  
I hope it gets better, as it was starting to cause shooting pains under my arm. You know I freaked out on that one! 
  
Take care,
