Hey, I noticed this hard lump on my right rib cage. It doesn't hurt when I touch it, and it stays in place, feeling just like bone. But sometimes it hurts a little on its own, and I've got this pain around my right shoulder blade too. Any idea what this could be?
The bony lump on your right rib cage, which is hard, non-mobile, and occasionally painful, along with referred pain to the right shoulder blade, may indicate a benign bone growth or lesion, such as an osteochondroma, costal exostosis, or a bone spur, but a thorough medical evaluation, including imaging tests like X-rays or a CT scan, is necessary to determine the exact cause and appropriate course of action.

I'm currently 5'8 and want to increase my height to 6'4. I've heard about limb lengthening surgery and growth plates but not sure how they work. Are there any medicines or procedures that can actually help me grow taller at this point
While it's understandable to want to increase height, it's important to know that reaching a 6'4 height is unlikely through natural means at this point. Growth plates typically close during adolescence, making it very difficult to influence height after that. Limb lengthening surgery is a complex procedure that can increase height but also carries significant risks and recovery time.
