masking

[Mondy122]

does anyone else have the pain or dull discomfort and have had for years but it comes and goes or you take an ibuprofen to cover it or it goes after a drink or it goes anyway but then reappears or you just plain ignore it or MASK it instead of standing up to it cos your scared of outcome,shit aint it

Dear Mondy122,

This is a question that your own health care professional is best placed to answer, as only they have access to your medical records.

We suggest talking this through with your own doctor or health care professional in the first instance.

Best wishes,

British Liver Trust

If you have pain in that area and believe its connected to drink, then you should go to your GP and get a check up. Could be a gall bladder issue for all you know, but you need to investigate further.

Agree with above, what does it feel like, as if you have an apple sized object under your ribs?

Yeh and have for years,you explain to the doctor and they act like your daft but after pushing i was told i had enlarged fatty liver,few years ago had fibroscan and all came iut as ok and i have another in a few weeks so hoping for same outcome its just annoying the sensation as you put it an apple under your ribs,i cut drinking down and over the last year lost weight which really helped but have put some back on,the only person i talk to about it is my mate and maybe thats why ive posted on here just to get it off my chest and not looking for sympathy just the writing it down and somebody replying for the realization,im damn sure theres alot more worse off and like many only one person can help so look in the mirror,ive lived unhealthy and am paying the consequences ☹️😁
