MGUS Symptoms: What symptoms did you experience?

I have tender spots over bones, particularly over ribs. They can be painful when palpated. They come-and-go but sometimes last months. MRI did not pick up any osseous lesions (I am due for another MRI in June). So far I am in the MGUS club with mildly elevated Mspike proteins and a thoracic compression fracture.
Anyone else experience painful spots over ribs or other bones? Did they evade an MRI?

My experience:
I had 2 thoracic compression fractures over 2 years ago from hitting a bump snow skiing. My osteoporosis finding led to an MGUS diagnosis.
One fracture was mild & the other was moderate and both healed on their own. I sometimes have a little soreness in my ribs since then. It’s gotten better. MGUS is stable and low numbers so probably any soreness for me is unrelated to MGUS.
