hi im 23 yrs old and for a couple years now ive been noticing a sharp stabbing pain under my ribcage but when I was pregnant I felt it more and had to keep going to hospital to c what was going on but dey would never find nothing they would say it was just the muscles streching so as time went on I was suffering from pain throughout the whole 9 months and now that I have my baby boy ive notice the pain even more and also got like an attack pain which never got that strong. and its worrying me alot also have had alot of constipation since probably I remember mostly half of my life and notice is more when eating and drinking I feel really nauseated and also hurts through back sometimes and changes of an on to my right side also when going to bathroom I bleed alot n I dnt know if its just from the Hemorrhoids I got from the birth and I dnt do no drugs or alcohol maybe ive had like 4 through my whole life not much of a drinker or doing drugs dnt like and its religiously. bad for the church anyone can tell me what it is I have oh n also feel really lightheaded as well im 5'5 -1/2 and weigh 240 and also have asma and ulcers

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for writing your query
After going through your suffering, the pain could be of costochondritis (painful when ribs are pressed), may be relieved by following measure along with the drugs like ibuprofen-
1. Avoiding unnecessary exercise or activities that make the symptoms worse; avoid contact sports until there is improvement in symptoms, and then return to normal activities only as tolerated.
2. Rib belt along with hot water fomentation helps.
You should also look for causes of being overweight along with bone weakness that is osteopenia as a cause for rib pain.Get vitamin D test done.
Hope this information suffices and I shall be glad to answer any further query.
Take care and wish you good health
Regards
