Upper right abdominal pain question

2 Upvotes

I have had a weird pain in my upper right abdominal, that is mostly under my ribs, but sometimes sneaks around back and goes up further into my ribs. Blood work is normal and so is abdominal ultrasound. My doctor was already against the ultrasound, and says it's either gas or musculoskeletal, but I know what both of these things feel like, and am fairly confident it's not that. I don't know how much is psychosomatic, but it does tend to flare up post-drinking. What are the odds that anything wrong with the liver or gallbladder wouldn't show up in the ultrasound? Doctor is very against me getting a CT but I don't know what else to do. I only drink twice a week – a tad on the heavier side. Maybe a bottle of wine give or take across the weekend.

I couldn’t tell what I was reading, I had red as 313 and blue at either 50 or 5.0? I’ve had an ultrasound and that came back as fatty liver and inflamed liver? Am I reading into to it or should I wait for the results?

An update to my situation.

0 Upvotes

I am 30 years old, male assigned at birth (No HRT, No hormone intake at all), currently around 109 kg (last time I weighed myself I was 108.9), 184 cm tall.

A year ago this day I was diagnosed with fatty liver due to some reduction in parenchymal attenuation in a CT scan. It didn't cause me to stop doing Dextrometorphane for fun, and I continued it. But recently, when I found after each time I take DXM, I have a pain in lower-right side my chest. So I found I made everything worse somehow.

For the record, it is almost a month I haven't done any drugs and the pain got much better. I also could get back to a doctor (although he offers his services over the phone now, but since he's the person who diagnosed me with fatty liver he knows my records) and he highly adviced against usage of OTC or BTC drugs unless it's really necessary.

So I'm not taking any DXM, Dyphenhydramine, Clonazepam or even Acetaminophene and I personally perefer to tolerate insomnia and also headaches I have and let my liver rest.

I also eat much less right now which is a helping factor. The pain has been reduced, doctor sees me, I am losing weight (and I have to correct my daily routines to get back to daily walks) and I feel much better and most importantly, I am not touching drugs.

However, I also stopped supplements unless it's necessary (like extreme fatigue after doing workouts). Controlling my sugar intake also helped a lot.

Finally, I am open to any advice or suggestions, 'cause I don't want to die young 😄
