Take Your Lumps: Oh no, don't start worrying 'till the lumps start forming in your neck... actually, a small lump under your right rib cage is not likely a part of your constipation. And anyways, after you take some Milk of Magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) and increase the fiber in your diet, see if it goes away with the constipation! If not then see if the lump changes in size or gets tender and if so, get it examined in person.
