Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The lump across the ribs is not likely to be connected to the carpal tunnel syndrome and TM joint syndrome. An autoimmune disorder causing a generalized inflammation of joints needs to be considered.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
