What Could Be The Reason For Having Pain In My Left Chest?

I awoke two weeks ago in severe...extreme pain in my left chest. Swelling on my ribs.
I went to Dr. had Ct showed nothing broken. A very small lesion 7mm on spleen. They then did bone scan and 7th rib lit up. Decided ot was costiocondritis.
Two weeks later....I still have mild pain...fatigue and generally feel a bit under the weather. This morning I woke with a dark purple bruise round...above my belly button. Again no trauma. Wondering what is going on.
