Have Pain In The Lower Right Rib Cage And Constipation?
Hi I have had a pain on my lower right rib cage for 2 months now, feels bruised when I touch it. I have in the past month had a chest infection and pleurisy and cough all in the right lung. I have also noticed a hard lump in my upper abdomen (just under where my ribs hurt) and I have been constipated for a couple of months now and I never used to be. Just getting a little worried as all of these symptoms seem to be on the same side and wondering if they are all connected?
