Hi there, if you are still getting the pain, go back and see your docotor. Also, cutting out any alcohol for at least a week to see if the pain improves is probably a good idea. Best wishes.

Hey there,

If you had your tests done and results are clean, there is nothing to worry about Liver diseases. As far as I know, liver diseases don't give any notable symptoms (not only a pain, many of them together) until they reach to a bad stage. In that case, liver problems can only be detected with blood tests, abdominal scans and physical doctor controls. If your tests are OK, I say you should not worry about it. And doctor would understand if your liver had excess fat or got bigger during controls. So no worries.

I am visiting doctor on monday with same type of problem but I don't drink alcohol. In addition to tenderness and bruise like pain in under right ribcage area, I have digestion problems and extreme amount of gas also. The slight pain is sometimes at my back (right side and in between shoulder blades). So I am guessing it's nothing too serious because I do not have other symptoms. I hope :P

But yeah, stop drinking alcohol and see if there is any improvement. Even though your liver got tired or anything, liver has an unbelievable power of regeneration. It will heal by it self.
Feel well soon.
