Are Severe Fatty Liver And Pain In The Upper Right Quadrant At The Back Related?

About a month ago I was told that I have a severe fatty liver. Since I do not have any insurance, I havent been to a doctor yet. I am about 25 pounds overweight & have just recently started a diabetic type of diet.
Now I am experiencing short sharp pains (that only last about 45-60 seconds) in the upper right quadurant of my back, directly under my ribs.
Could the 2 things be related? What can I do about the pain, at home since I have no insurance yet?

Hi thanks for asking question...

Noted you have overweight with fatty liver.
So you can have backache.
Moreover improper sleep posture also can lead it.

Here first you have to strictly reduce your weight dear....

Do regularly 1 hour swimming , jogging etc...
Take low fat diet.
Make control over junk food and non veg if eating....
Avoid alcohol strickly.....
Use good oil in cook like sunflower oil...

If still after loosing weight pain remain USG and x ray local part done for further work up.

Take care
Dr.Parth
