So I stopped drinking 5 weeks ago but feeling a burning sensation in right side. Will this go?

Well done for stopping the drinking. Get some tests done on your liver so that you have a clearer picture of any issues. See your GP for this. The most important thing is staying off the drink.

I didn’t have burning but I did have pain and it was sore over my liver even to touch. That went and hasn’t come back Since I stopped . I’m sure even if I have one more drink it will be back straight away.

Well done on stopping 😊x

I haven’t had any alcohol since mid Feb and have lost 1 st 10Ib but I still have the burning, dull, stitch horrible pain in my side. I thought it might go with weight loss as nearly 2 sizes down now but no it’s still there. 😢

I would get it checked out just in case the pain is unrelated.

Congratulations on your abstinence! Keep going !

If you have any symptoms are new, persistent or worsening, please do seek medical assessment for reassurance and guidance.
