Chronic Fatty Liver. Numbness And Tingling In Arm, Pain In Shoulder While Sitting Or Lying Down. Any Connections?

Hi, Dr. Narasi. Thank you for your time. I suffer from chronic, non-alcoholic liver disease (fatty liver). I have noticed increased numbness and tingling in my right arm, along with pain in my upper right shoulder. The discomfort is present when I am sitting, or lying down (especially lying on my back). Is this pain caused by my enlarged liver?
Thank you again for your time.

The tingling in the arm can be caused by compression of the spinal nerve roots in the cervical spine or in the brachial plexus. The shoulder pain may be related to the fatty liver and will settle down as the probem resolves.
