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 recently got my blood test results back and my ESR is at 89, which seems really high. I'm a bit worried and trying to figure out what might be causing it. I have a skin allergy right now and am taking anti-allergic tablets for it. Could the high ESR be due to the skin infection or maybe the medication? Would love some insight.
