The bumps i feel are on the rib cartilage closest to xiphoid. if on top of the rib cartilage there can be nodes, where would it be draining from?

Unclear question: There are no lymph nodes near the xiphoid process. The "nodes" may be normal irregularities in cartilage or bone. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
