Sometimes: In medicine symptoms take time to surface and we, as physicians, struggle sometimes to come up with an early diagnosis. In your case watchful waiting with attention to a possible correlation between your tender spot and the achy ribs may help in unifying the diagnosis (or not). Addressing the best you can your anxiety disorder will be needed regardless and definitely a good starting point.
