Brief Answer:
Its not a liver cirhossis for sure.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Thank you for the query.

Is the pain associated with foods intake? Do you have any nausea?
First of all please note that this is not a liver cirrhosis for sure. You have no symptoms of this condition. Moreover liver does not hurt at all. Bile ducts do hurt, but you have had an ultrasound which is clear.
As you have also some tingling pain in legs and hands, the problem is rather systemic. Most common reason of such symptoms is Magnesium and Potassium deficiency. Spine issues or any other neurological problem can give such symptoms as well.
I suggest you to start with Magnesium and Potassium suplementation. Please limit coffe intake.

If this wont help in a week or so, you should consult neurologist.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

3. Recently started bit itching and my eyes becoming reddish.

Brief Answer:
This is not cirrhosis.

Detailed Answer:
Liver cirrhosis is a serious condition. It gives portal hypertension, metabolic issues, coagulation problems and many more. Symptoms which you can get from that are: massive bleeding from esophagus, weakness, easy bruising, distended abdomen, visible veins on the abdomen, gynecomastia (enlarged breasts) and many more.
Your symptoms are for 100% not due this condition.
Pale stools and itching can appear due to jaundice. But it is caused by stones in bile ducts, not liver cirrhosis. Moreover, your urine should be dark. Most likely your stools and farting problem are due to lack of intestinal bacteria. Start probiotic intake and this should go away.
Neck acne, itching, reddish eyes are typical symptoms of allergy. Please consult allergologist with that.
And once again. Liver does not hurt at all. If you feel bile ducts can be the case, liver tests (AST,ALT, GGTP, AP) should diagnose the problem.

Brief Answer:
THIS IS NOT CIRRHOSIS.

Detailed Answer:
You have mentioned that the pain is not associated with foods intake. So this makes any abdominal disease less probable. Usually food is what causes abdominal pain especially bile ducts or pancreas pain. For sure you are too young for any serious disease. So please forget about cirrhosis. Its not the case for 100%.
And it would be visible in the ultrasound.
I suggest you to have mentioned about liver tests to make sure its not the liver and not bile ducts.
You should also have abdominal CT to rule out pancreas issues.
Please avoid any coffee (very important), caffeinated drinks (like coke), fatty foods, fried foods.

Brief Answer:
You have no serious issue.

Detailed Answer:
In my opinion is an anxiety. It affects the digestive tract. Please note that due to anxiety you can have any symptoms from the abdomen. Stomach pain, nausea, loose stool, mucus in the stool, constipation, lack of appetite are typical symptoms of the anxiety. More you think about it, worse it gets.
Probiotic usually does not cause any negative effects at all. So its not normal to feel uneasy after it.
Frequent coffee intake can cause peptic ulcers or stomach inflammation. So it might be the reason of uneasiness.

The best you can do to get back to normal is to stop thinking about your possible disease. You do not suffer from anything serious. No doubt in that.
And you can freely perform exercises. It wont cause any problems. Moreover it may distract you from thinking about diseases.
