Swollen lymph nodes through out body for 6 months. my rib cage began hurting and noticed number of lumps there too. should i push for biopsy?

Yes: If the problem has been present for 6 months and your are having symptoms, you need to consult an internist or a hematology/oncology specialist to determine if a biopsy is in order. I presume that you have already seen your PCP without getting a satisfactory answer.
