Have Pain Under Ribs, Lower Back Muscle. Ultrasound Test Done, Have Fatty Liver. What Can It Be?
I have right sided discomfort under my ribs. Had issues for 5+ years and only in last 2 months has it worsened. Tight lower back muscles along with tight abdominal wall muscles. Feels like something under the ribcage. Had ultrasound a few years ago. Fatty liver but nothing else remarkable. Wondering if a gall bladder can give chronic symptoms overact years or what else the possibilities could be. Thanks.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain in the ribs is not necessarily associated with fatty liver. This can be a muscular pain too. You can take rest and take mild pain killers like acetaminophen and see if it helps.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
