I've been having pain on my right side for about two weeks now, especially when I lay on my left side. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I'm starting to worry. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

The persistent pain on your right side, exacerbated by lying on your left side, could be related to various factors, including muscle strain, gallbladder issues, kidney stones, or even a herniated disk; consider consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation, including physical examination and potentially imaging tests, to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

I'm experiencing this on-and-off burning sensation near my lower left rib. It feels just like a hot burning thing going on, especially when I'm lying down. It's so strange because when I'm busy with work or moving around, there's no pain at all, but as soon as I lie down, that hot feeling pops up near my left rib towards the back. It's been two weeks already! I'm not in pain, more like a discomfort really, as the left side aches near the lower rib with this heat thing happening. Any idea what this could be and how I could maybe get rid of it?

I've been really constipated and my USG showed gaseous distension in the stomach are there any treatments besides medicines to get rid of the gas? Like, could surgery or something else help? It's pretty urgent and I'm not sure what to do

For gaseous distension and constipation, lifestyle changes like increasing fiber intake, hydration, and regular exercise can help. Surgery is rarely needed unless there‚Äôs a structural issue causing the gas retention.
