I have Costochondritis and have been feeling pain in my rib. Recently, I noticed a small lump above my rib, and I'm worried. Could this lump be a sign of cancer, or is it related to my Costochondritis?
Its understandable to be concerned, but costochondritis typically causes rib pain due to inflammation of the cartilage, not cancer. The small lump you noticed could be a benign cyst or muscle-related, but its always a good idea to get it checked by a doctor to rule out any other concerns and get peace of mind.
