I've been having this intense pricking sensation right at the opening of my anus whenever I pass stools. It's not exactly painful the rest of the time, and there's no bleeding involved. I'm kind of worried about what might be causing this. Could it be something that needs attention or do you have any advice on how to deal with it?

Question

I'm experiencing this mild pain around my ribs on both sides, and it's been bothering me whenever I move. I got a chest X-ray, but the results seemed unclear since it was just black and white. I also struggle a lot with acidity and gastric issues, and there's this burning sensation in the middle of my chest. Plus, the pain seems to extend to my right shoulder, coming from the chest area. I'm a bit worried and not sure what's going on. Could you advise on what might be causing these symptoms and which type of doctor I should see to get this figured out?
