What Does Back Pain Bloating With Liver Swelling Suggest?
Recently I have developed a pain in my lower back with gas pain and bloating and pain on my lower right side. This increases before I urinate. I had a work-up a few days ago saw a gastro- xray showed alot of stool and maybe some liver swelling. I am in alot of pain that goes away throughout the day, but comes back about 1 hour after eating around belly button. Can you help? Coiuld this be an ovarian cyst? I am female 54 years old- had a hysterectomy and usually have good health except for a cervical disc & nerve problem and Hasimotos thyroiditis.

Hello,
Liver swelling may not be visible in X-ray of the abdomen. Only span of liver may be measurable in few cases. Confirmatory diagnosis by ultrasound abdomen or CT scan.You may be suffering from acute gastritis or irritable bowel syndrome or food intolerance or infection of stomach etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Use upper GI endoscopy and stool examination. Ultrasound abdomen and if necessary colonoscopy. Avoid spicy food and caffeine drinks. Avoid lactose contain food or gluten contain food. Use tablet Pantaprazole before breakfast for one week. Use tablet Simethicone twice a day for five days.If symptoms not improved please consult your gastroentrologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
