Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description possibility of osteophytic lesion in 6th rib is more. Chest x-ray and CT scan are usually fail in diagnosis of lytic bone lesions. So bone scan is needed for this. Most common cause for lytic bone lesion are 1. Primary bone tumor. 2. Metastatic bone tumor (primary from other organ and spread to bone). So get done bone scan and if needed Biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. If all these are normal then sometimes Costco Chat Doctor.  So get done bone scan for diagnosis. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
