Rib pain: This could be related to food intake. Best to keep a journal of your symptoms (and any activity or food is related to timing of the symptoms) over the next week or two. Then you can review this with your doctor and see if any pattern of occurrence is revealed. Best of health to you

Doubt it: There is nothing vital there. Are you constipated? Have round, hard stools or strain when you go?? It is a common place to hurt and a common problem. Make sure you drink 8 full 8 ounce glasses of WATER every day and eat all your fruits and veggies. 4 Frits servings and 5 veggies are recommended each day. Hope that helps!!
