Intercostal strain 8 weeks ago. feels ok mostly, but i feel lumps - especially one hard one the size of 2 marbles - on top and between ribs. advice?

Broken bone?cysts?: Either you incidentally have benign cysts growing in the same area, or it is possible you actually broke the rib and what you are feeling is a "bony callous" - a "lump" made of bone that develops as a broken bone heals. I recommend you check with your doc.
