A member asked:
Would painful knots on lower ribcage be anything other than muscles?ct test showed nothing. would infection or tumor show in a ct?nothing has helped.

Not likely a tumor: If the CT scan came back normal then I think you can safely rule out tumor or infection as the CT would surely show evidence of that. Have you tried massage therapy or chiropractic? Even acupuncture may be an avenue to pursue.
