Consider Osteopath: I'm not sure what 'swollen pain' means-is it visible or just a 'sense' that it's swollen? In either case, there could be several reasons why you have this pain from rib dysfunction to arthritis, torn ligaments, nerve injury w/referred pain, ql spasm, etc. A proper history & physical exam, including an osteopathic hands-on exam might be able to determine the cause when other diagnostic methods fail.
