Abdominal Pain, Back Pain. Had Gall Bladder Removed. Tests Show Fatty Liver. Help
I am suffering rom pain in my upper right abdomen, just below my ribcage and pain in my back at about the same height. I have had my Gall Blagger removed last August. Dr. has ran blood tests (all normal including liver), abdomenal CT, Colonoscopy and scoped my stomach. They found nothing of any significance except radiologist noted mild fatty liver. This is affecting my daily life. I squirm around in my chair trying to find a comfortable spot. It seems to ease off if I stand up or push on my bottom rib in a direction around the rig cage?

Hello,
Some patients experience pain of this type in the postoperative period.
After a surgery to the abdomen there is always chance of adherence of the internal organs during the process of wound healing.
This may cause you pain.
Fatty liver in most of the cases is asymptomatic.
Over a period of time you may be able to overcome the pain if there no underlying causes.
