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?

View allI'm really concerned because I've been dealing with chronic constipation and gastritis for the last 25 years. It's been such a long time, and I'm not sure what to do about it. I've noticed that my weight is 52 kgs, and I'm around 5 feet 6 inches tall. Is there something I might be missing or should be asking about? What steps can I take to improve my condition?
For chronic constipation, you can try taking Metamucil (psyllium) 1 tablespoon mixed with water once or twice daily can help regulate bowel movements. For gastritis, you can take Prilosec (omeprazole) 20mg once daily before breakfast for 4-8 weeks to reduce stomach acid production and alleviate symptoms. It is also important to avoid spicy, acidic, and fatty foods that can trigger gastritis flare-ups.

I'm experiencing a really bad pain and burning sensation around my anus whenever I go to the bathroom. It's been happening for a week now. My stools aren't hard, but it feels like a hot, chilli-like sensation in that area. I've tried using smuth cream and coconut oil, but nothing seems to help. Could you advise me on what to do?
