What Are Symptoms Associated With Fatty Liver?
What could the reason be for a pain on my right side near my hip going down into my groin after I have a lot of physical work, I have a fatty liver, could this be causing the pain. At times I can hard walk up stairs, after taking ibuprofen I feel better the next day but still pain if I exert myself again. This has been going on for about a year. Could this be associated with a fatty liver?

Dear Friend, greetings from HCM. I understand your problem.
Fatty liver won't cause pain in the lower abdomen. It could be just a muscle pull . you take rest from your physical work for 3 to 4 days. Don't lift weight. Take some muscle relaxants if pain is severe. If pain persists even after a week meet your surgeon and get an ultrasound done.
Fatty liver is reversible . you try to avoid too much of carbohydrates , take more of green leafy vegetables, fruits, oats. Do exercise do burn your fat .
