Are you doing anything to depress your first rib? Like seeing a hands on therapist (pt, chiro, osteo, massage) or doing it yourself?
Life is far from perfect, but learning to shove my first rib down was a breakthrough for me.
Also, if you're exercising, you have to ask if you are doing any exercises that might be flaring you up such as pushups, anterior shoulders, neck, etc.

I'm not doing anything to manually push down my first rib because I usually end up hurting myself. I'm not using any foam rollers either. I have the Edgelow kit but I haven't used any of that stuff in a long time. I'm having better luck just doing my mobility exercises free hand, like on the Intu-flow DVD. When I push against something I usually end up flaring myself up.
I'm not doing any strengthening exercises either. All I'm trying to do is get full range of motion in all of my joints. Sometimes I just push the envelope a little too much and cause myself a flare up. It's a very fine line.
