Pain In Stomach From Mid Abdomen To Back, Worsened While Lying Down. CT Scan Showed Fatty Liver. Concerning?
I have gone to my general practitioner for the last year with unidentified stomach pain. It is pain to the touch. I have had an abdominal CT and a fatty liver has been identified. Now my pain extends from my mid abdomen and to my back and my back pain is more extensive when I lie down to sleep at night. this has been the case for the last 6 months. I'm heading to a GI Specialist. Should this be a concern?
Welcome to HCM.The back pain would be due to musculoskeletal causes though spinal nerve root compression would need to be ruled out.A fatty liver would cause a moderate ache over the right subcostal area and hypochondrium.The management for the liver problem will include life style changes ,like a low fat diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables.Regular exercise like a daily 45 minute brisk walk would help.The back pain needs to be investigated and treated,use of NSAIDs like ibubrufen will help till yo see your doctor.
