Sensation of band, not tight, under rib cage

[spalatin]

Does anybody experience a sensation of a band, not tight, under rib cage?

I have been diagnosed with AMA but liver functions normal.

ANA also elevated.

Thankyou

Yes I have that feeling, when I was in process of being diagnosed it was much worse but placed on urso and it has improved

Exact same for me, just felt pressure.

I have been on Urso for a 6 months and it has helped.

Thanks for reply ENuk. At this stage nothing diagnosed except moderate fatty liver, elevated Antibodies and elevated ANA, although this sensation is happeniing inermitingly. Dr checking in 6 months again

That’s how I started.... slightly elevated enzymes and Ana.... waiting six months sent to immunologist and he did a battery of test and boom.... there it was. Early is better bc treatment with urso can bring everything in line is not off the charts. Best of luck and keep us posted

I tell you it’s almost impossibly painful to wear a well fitting bra 😳

Hi Pamela, I was wondering if that was the cause of the problem as it always comes on when I go to bed, but …..

I know once I started wearing a long sleeve undershirt under my outer shirt and no bra it hardly ever bothers me..... but of course can’t go braless everywhere

I took elastic out from lower band, from centre to left side seam (over spleen area). Bought swimsuit 3 or 4 sizes bigger. Just remember not to dive in the water... These are my tips anyway. Best wishes with finding a way that works for you.
