pain always in the same place??

[dizzydaisy]

I have for the last year had a pain, under my right ribs, it feels like a stitch pain sometimes it aches. My doctor suspected gallstones so sent me for an ultra sound scan which showed no gallstones but the starting of a fatty liver, which she said would not cause pain or discomfort. This was over a year ago and I have not been back to my doctors for this problem. I am now so paranoid about this pain that it is almost on my mind constantly. If its not there Im waiting for it to start, how stupid am I...
I have convinced myself I have liver cancer and its spread, the worry is so great that its affecting my whole life. I have an appointment to see my doctor friday. I cannot believe that this pain, there for so long, in the same place can be anxiety, I do have ibs but this pain is different. My best friend died of liver cancer in 2003 and its so playing on my mind. Oh what I would do to be free of HA for just a day.

Hiya

I am sorry that nobody has replied to your message! I have been diagnosed with a fatty liver (nice title!!) last week and I also get pain and discomfort around the liver.

I am sure that if a tumour was there or anything else the ultra sound would have shown it. Fatty liver is by all accounts reversible and I have felt a difference in a few days of eating more fruit and veg.

Try not to worry (coming from me is hilarious!!)

Take care

Hi and thanks for replying. I did go and see the doctor and she has done some more blood tests and I have an appointment to see a gastroenterologist on the 11th january. Im sorry to hear that you have been having problems, mine is absolutely my fault as Im over weight!!! I know I need to get my self sorted and on a diet but I just seem so deflated at the moment, cant be bothered to do anything. Its been a real bugger of a year. I gave up smoking two years ago and put on a couple of stone which I planned to lose:blush: then lost my horse, who kept me fit, and then my son in law died at a very young age, I lost my job, my uncle died and can you tell Im full of self pity:) so its been an arse of a year, Im back on anti depressants my HA has never been so bad, but Im really gonna try and pull myself together. Hope you manage to sort your liver probs out. xx

I am sorry to hear you have had a crappy time of it, I hope life gives you a break for a while. I battle constantly with my weight and I am totally to blame for my fatty liver trouble. I just wish I could be motivated 100% and not be constantly worrying with this terrible HA. People say push the thoughts from your mind................yeah like it is that easy!! I question everything and feel reassured for a while and then WHAM back at the start and I think I am dying!! my whole life is consumed by HA and I would like it to bugger off now.

Take care and PM me anytime.

Fingers crossed we both beat HA and heal our livers!!
