Shoulder pain from NAFLD?

[joezip]

Hi everyone;

This is another episode of me worrying that my symptom is due to liver disease. For the last week or so I've had terrible right shoulder pain. It goes down the shoulder blade and up to the neck, and then there is a little tenderness on the actual shoulder and going down the arm. I also have a little tenderness in the upper right quadrant of my abdomen. I'm wondering if this shoulder pain is likely due to my NAFLD, or if it's muscular. The pain feels muscular, and I do lift heavy weights several times a week, and swim 3x a week, so it's possible I injured it, but the pain is completely limited to my right shoulder, and I know right shoulder pain can be a result of an enlarged liver pressing the phrenic nerve against the diaphragm. I just wanted to know, for those who've experienced liver-induced right shoulder pain, what does it actually feel like? Is it the same sort of pain as muscular shoulder pain? Could you find relief?

Hi

I've got Nash. I get upper right quadrant pain, radiates to back, shoulder and shoulder blades. The pain is always there but gets worse.. my consultant said they are all linked, very painful. Hope you feel better very soon. Take care Lynne

my right upper quadrant pain comes and goes, though. Now days it's only present if I eat a super fatty meal or drink alcohol (so I pretty much never drink alcohol at this point). Right now I don't have much right upper quadrant pain, and the shoulder pain is not really radiating from my back. Could it be muscular?

I know mine isn't muscular because I had a biopsy and was diagnosed with Nash with some fibrosis. Take care Lynne vxxxx
