I've been having this swelling in my rib bone under my breast, and it's really huge. Plus there's one in my left shoulder and a lighter one on the right side. It really hurts when I touch it and it gets worse when I cough or sneeze. What could this be? Should I be worried?

Question

I'm really worried about this ongoing chest pain and difficulty breathing thats been happening for 5 months, and now theres talk about a potential autoimmune disease. It seems to have been confirmed by both my GP and a Pulmonologist, and theyre suggesting seeing a rheumatologist next. The latest episode was really tough, lasted 12 days with fevers around 100.9 to 102, night sweats, and I've lost about 15 pounds. I'm just trying to understand what might be going on and what to expect moving forward. Any insights?

Question

I'm a bit confused about the difference between Omnacortil 5 and Wyslone 5. My doctor prescribed Wyslone 5, but the pharmacy only had Omnacortil 5 available. Is there any issue if I go with Omnacortil 5 instead of sticking strictly to the prescription? I'm worried about getting the right treatment.

Question

I'm dealing with costochondritis and I'm really feeling some pain around my rib. I've noticed a small lump above the skin on my rib too. Is this possibly a sign of cancer? I'm quite worried.
