Probably Costo-chondritis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.

Mesh implant from the umbilical Surgery can not be the reason for rib-cage aching.

The most probable cause can be costo-chondritis.
I would advise you to get an MRI of the painful area, telling the Radiologist to be specifically see for the painful- tender area. This will confirm the diagnosis and also rule out other rare causes for rib cage aches.
I would suggest the following treatment.
-Rest to the area by means of strapping with the Adhesive tapes during the deep Expiration phase. This will limit the movement, reduce the pain and give rest for healing to occur.
-Anti-inflammatory medicines in full dose as per the weight.
-Steroids ONLY if required for its strong anti-inflammatory role.
-Stress is one of the major contributory factors in some patients. Give it a thought .
This sort of a treatment helps all my patients. and should help you too.
