Hi welcome to the health care magic
Your ribs are if tender to touch then costochondritis can be the possibility for which ibuprofen or Naproxen course prescribed for five days
Check your vitamin D and calcium level also
If no cause found and pain continued then yes it can be psychogenic pain...
If you are having excess stress or anxiety issue then acknowledge us with it....
Take care
Hope your concern solved
