Chronic Pain Under Rib Cage. Colonoscopy, Endoscopy Normal. Ultrasound Shows Fatty Liver. Medication?
Current issue is chronic pain in upper right GI area just under rib cage. Colonostomy normal, endoscopy normal except some diverticulitis, ultrasound of GI normal except fatty liver; gall bladder function tested at 92%. Doc says 92% is normal so gall bladder is fine. Online resources disagree that 92% is normal. Some say it should be less than 85% or it is considered hyperactive / hyperkinetic. Which is true? Also could the constant pain be coming from my liver? My PA says your liver has no nerves so it can t hurt. I am hurting and need help. What should I do?

Hi
I read carefully all you concern and I can say that your pain is not from fatty liver.
yes you may have a hiperkinetic gallblader and it is associated with abdominal pain.
your chronic pain may be related to bowel (large colon )spasms,
So you should eat bit and frequently, and please try to avoid stress.
All the best
