Tender rib pain and armpit uncomfort
I've had what feels like pain in my bones (ribs mostly but sometimes chest bone up to collarbone) for a few months. It does not always feel actively painful but when pressed it's tender and begins to ache). At its worst, I had severe pain in my ribs and chest (chest bone to collar bones). Now, it is not to that degree but when I breathe in deeply, I feel like I can feel the spots where it would usually hurt. The ribs are still tender to the touch (feels like certain spots) and extend to armpits
