Could pain under my ribs be endometriosis?

Hi, firstly thank you for your help I feel like reading some of these threads I finally feel like I may have an answer and feel slightly less like I am going mad! I have been experiencing pain under my ribs, my arms and right shoulder/ back for around 8 months now. This is worse when I eat cheese or generally fatty/ sugary food to the point I am up at night with painkillers and hot water bottle. I have always also had extremely painful and heavy periods to the point it impacted my life. I have had multiple tests and my liver function tests have been out of range- I am not sure whether this would happen if it was related to potential endometriosis? I have tested positive for liver autoimmune antibodies although I have no idea what this means yet and feel I am getting no answers or explanations. My gallbladder looked small on the ultrasound scan which they thought may be the cause of my pain if not working properly or if I may have passed stones but none could be seen. This all seems to be since I had the mirena coil fitted which could be a coincidence but I had it removed yesterday to rule it out. I also had two children recently although did not have any of these symptoms whilst pregnant. Any advice would be very much appreciated!
