You should seek medical attention immediately, as swelling and protrusion of the ribs with chest and back pain may indicate a rib injury, fracture, infection, or complications related to your previous surgeries. Avoid strenuous activity and do not attempt to self-treat. A doctor will likely recommend a physical examination, imaging tests (such as X-ray or CT scan), and possibly blood tests to determine the cause.
