The large pin head doesn't sound like it is probably a lymph node; just a guess. I have had sore ribs off and on since my treatment ended in 03. They are also sensitive to the touch, and if I touch them too much, they get even more sore, so I try to leave them alone.
These rib aches do come and go. Sometimes they're sore in the front, either side; and sometimes in the back. They may be there for several days or longer, then they go away for a while. I will sometimes take a Motrin or Aleve and they feel better. I'm taking Arimidex and Actonel, both which can cause bone pain.
You don't have your breast cancer history written after your signiture. It sometimes helps people to be able to answer questions better if they can see your history of meds, timeline, etc.
Hope this helps you some!
