Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having congenital developmental defect of rib cage, pigeon chest.
Most common cause for this is calcium and vitamin D3 deficiency.
So tenderness, soreness, inflammation and pain can be due to these deficiencies.
So better to get done calcium and vitamin D3 levels and if deficiency then you will need supplements.
Also follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in such symptoms.
Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks
