Hi, im constipated and haven't been able to go to the bathroom for some days now, and i now started to get abdominal pains on my right side beneath the ribs. I was wondering if this is norman, considering the constipation or if its caused by the appendix or something else?

HI
Well come to HCM
Constipation does not cause any pain unless this of some etiology or due to some systemic disease, here the pain that you are having could be functional one, nonspecific, this is not appendicitis, for the constipation drink more water, have fibber containing diet, keep regular habit of toilet going, everything would be fine, for the pain Tab Dicyclomine can be tried, have a nice day.
