Hi,
How are you? Were you able to have this checked by your surgeon? If the rib pain persists, you may need to have this checked for proper evaluation. Additional diagnostic tests may be indicated. Also, if the present medications are not working, inform your doctor for proper management. You can also try complementary and alternative medicine such as biofeedback or acupuncture for pain relief. Take care and do keep us posted.
