What Could A Painful Chest Lump And Subsequent Prescription Of Indomethacin Indicate?

I am a 34 year old woman, height 5'7, approx. 200 lbs.. I have a hard mildly painful hump in the center of my chest that feels like bone. I had a heart ultrasound which came back normal, and was prescribed Indomethacin from my doctor with any actual diagnosis. Please help.
