Sassy--
At least you knew it was your ribs. My ribs also were sore after my mastectomy, and I thought it was scar tissue. When I asked my surgeon about it, I laughed so hard when he said it was my ribs...I was accustomed to having a breast over that area, and I wasn't familiar with how it felt to have exposed ribs!!

The surgeon told me it's normal to have soreness there. Hope you feel better soon :-)
