I've been dealing with this constant pain in my ribs, on both sides, but it's worse on the left. It's been going on for the last couple of years, and the pain comes and goessome days it's really bad, and others it's not there at all. I'm 31, weigh 104, and I'm about 5'7". I'll admit, I don't have the healthiest lifestyle, and I used to smoke. I've done some tests like a 2D echo, a stress test, an endoscopy, and a chest X-ray, and everything came back normal. My blood pressure is a bit high, and I have thyroid issues, but all my other blood work looks good, except for some cholesterol issues. I'm just trying to figure out what might be causing this rib pain. Any ideas on what could be going on or what I should do next?

I'm really concerned about how excessive masturbation might affect my bones, joints, and muscles. Could it lead to any serious issues like wearing down my bones or joints? I've been hearing crepitus-like sounds from them and I'm wondering if that's something I should worry about. Can you help me understand its effects?
Excessive masturbation does not directly cause wear and tear on bones, joints, or muscles. However, chronic overuse of certain muscles during masturbation could potentially lead to muscle strain or fatigue. Crepitus, or the crackling or popping sound that can occur in joints, is usually caused by air bubbles in the joint fluid or rough surfaces of the joint moving against each other. If you are experiencing any concerning symptoms related to your bones, joints, or muscles, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.
