Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query. Ideally you need to be clinically examined. However, based on the mentioned details it seems that you could have costochondritis, an inflammation of the cartilagenous portion of ribs. Cannot comment on the rubbery sensation without an actual examination. I would suggest that you visit a doctor and get yourself evaluated.
About the cramps in stomach, gastroesophageal reflux or gastritis may be involved. A clinical examination is needed for confirmation.
In order to relieve yourself, you need to do the following:
* Avoid spicy food. Take small but frequent meals. Avoid long gaps between meals.
* Avoid alcohol intake (if it a part of your habit).
* Take Prilosec (omeprazole) once daily before breakfast.
* Take plenty of green leafy vegetables as well as other sources of dietary fibers. Take fiber supplements like isabgol/psyllium husk or senna. I would insist you to increase your dietary fiber intake.
* Regular morning walk and exercise to keep the bowel movements proper.
* Take curd or yogurt on daily basis. It contains beneficial bacteria and should help.
Hope that helps.
Let me know if I could help further.
