Ayurveda this looks like Arsha (piles) with Vata imbalance + weak digestion (Agnimandya) causing gas and body aches. Since you are breastfeeding, treatment should be mild and safe. Simple Ayurvedic approach: 1. For piles & constipation (core treatment) Take Isabgol (psyllium husk) 1–2 tsp at night with warm water or milk Triphala churna ½ tsp at night (only if stools are hard; stop if loose motions start) 2. For gas & left rib discomfort Jeera + Ajwain water (boil and sip warm after meals) Avoid fried, spicy, and gas-forming foods (rajma, cabbage, excess tea/coffee) 3. For body aches (Vata imbalance) Daily warm oil massage (til oil) on legs and hands before bath Drink warm water throughout the day Gentle stretching in morning 4. Piles local care Warm sitz bath 10–15 min daily Do not strain during bowel movements, avoid sitting long hours 5. Diet focus Warm, soft, easily digestible food (khichdi, soups) Include ghee in small amount for lubrication
