Suggest Treatment For Painful Lumps On Ribs

I went to get a physical and everything came back fine. I have had alot of little lumps on my ribs and middle back on the right side. They hurt when I BREATH heavy. My doctor tells me they seem to be lipomas or cysts. All bloodwork came back fine. I do have a UTI Athough but doctor tells me it has nothing to do with the painful lumps on my ribs. It seems they pop up alot. I now have a quarter size one on my right side rib. I do eat heatlhy and do worry alot. I also work out but these lumps are annoying. I wonder if they cause pain because they may be resting on a nerve.

Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
* Vital informations are lacking here in the query
1. bumps - duration , number , exact size, shape , appearance ,
consistency , tender on touch , itching , progress since
beginning , any watery or serous discharge , movement in
relation to underlying skin
2. respiratory problem if any ( except hurt on breath )
3. high resolution clinical photograph
4. lab reports
* In absence of these I can evaluate as Multiple Neurofibromatosis .
Hope this helps you.
Awaiting for your details.
