I'm feeling some really sharp pain under my ribs, like being poked with a nail. It's happening between my 3rd and 2nd last rib, and I've been dealing with it for about 45 years. Sometimes it happens every 2-3 months, but other times it's more regular. I'm starting to worry if it might be something wrong with my liver, or maybe it's just gas-related? I also have constipation issues. What could be going on?
