I have had cronic rib pain for a couple years now. what is it. i also have troubl going to the bathroom every day but im not sure if thats related?

Unrelated: Chronic rib pain uncommon. Needs more work up to know..Could be damage to cartilage at end of rib, old boney injury, growth on rib or occasionally muscles between ribs.Very unlikely connected to constipation. Try increasing fiber in diet or supplement and taking stool softener such as colace (docusate sodium).
