Summary
A 20-year-old woman became ill after COVID in February 2022, with chest heaviness and a hospital scare for pulmonary embolism. The chest heaviness later resolved, but a painful lump between her ribs appeared and was removed a couple of months before her August 2022 post; it was benign. The rib-cage pain has not gone away.

I’ve gotten it removed a couple of months ago and it was confirmed benign. However, the pain hasn’t gone away.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
