Dr. Robert Cloud answered

Specializes in Colon and Rectal Surgery

Constipation: Most likely backed up gas or stool. If constipation is a regular problem, try some daily psyllium in a glass of water. For transient constipation, you can try a dose of Milk of Magnesia (magnesium hydroxide).

I think I may have slipped rib syndrome. I can feel something pointy right beneath the left-front side of my rib cage. I can move it with no pain but if I cough too hard or sit down for long periods of time it starts to hurt my upper abdomen and back?
