Too little information but it is a sign that you should continue with your doctors and get a good understanding of what is actually happening. You want to have your docs take a good look at your liver

Exact same only the fatty liver today I was told I don’t no what to do from here I’m going out my mind and it seems the doctors have left it to me now I have the pain on my right upper rib side

You may need to find a different doctor. It is important to have one that will work with you. I know that can be tough to find

I think I’m gonna call them and demand an appointment tomorrow I’m not allowing them to let me slip through the net upon a diagnosis they are suppose to call you it took me to call them than they asked when did you get this result well earlier today when I phoned your surgery and your receptionist told me I feel very worried about this I don’t even no what stage I’m at and if it is reversible I’m going to call the Solihull hospital tomorrow to where I had this done and see if I can get some more information many thanks for your reply x

Went to emergency room with pain under right rib cage which pain radiates to upper back and neck on right side doctors felt abdominal and did blood work and said liver enzymes are normal I know I have fatty liver because I've been diagnosed with fatty liver but worried that it's more serious when you feel pain does it mean fatty liver disease has progressed I also have been diagnosed with gallbladder sludge in the past and have gotten CT scans in the past where they have seen it but this time I have pain under my ribs on the right side which upset me I have a gastroenterologist appointment in June only opening stressed out right now also have hypothyroidism and overweight thank you

Hi Sharon

Pain can have a lot of causes and liver disease can be one of them. No way to be sure without proper testing but since you have been told you have fatty liver you probably know that the advice will be to adopt a healthy lifestyle, lose weight and exercise. If you haven't, it is probably smart to start that while you are trying to see a specialist. Here is a link that might help

Also quick question does stains 10mg cause damage liver and got diagnosed with prediabetes got prescribed Metformin 500mg haven't taken yet does that damage liver also too? Thanx🤗

[nash2 Partner in reply to Sharonross]

statins are generally regarded as safe. Metformin has shown some liver impact for some people so some hepatologists are cautious but a lot of people take it. In some situation some docs think it is beneficial. Here is a link to the recent science if that might help

Oh wow I just read it I've seen other sites on this that is very similar the side effects alone are frighting I'm going to definitely wait until I speak to my gastroenterologist for a second opinion btw my regular gp prescribed that also am itchy too does itching as well is that another symptom thank you🤗

[nash2 Partner in reply to Sharonross]

Itch is a fairly common symptom and important to mention to your gastro doc. It is important that you have your liver stiffness evaluated as that means more than the tests you've had so far. NASH is common with diabetes and it is important to get both managed. Good luck
