Hello,
The sharp pain on the chest are just local inflammation or costochondritis. Anyway, considering the lumps, I would recommend performing a chest X-ray study. The diarrhea after eating could be related to gluten intolerance or irritable bowel syndrome. I recommend testing for gluten intolerance.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
