Suggest Remedies For Constant Left Sided Pain Below The Rib Cage

64 yoa, male. Recently diagnosed with a fatty liver, no verifiable enzyme elevations. About two weeks ago, started taking a herbal liver cleanse, Lipothropic + with L-carnitine (three times a day) and Milk thistle, 175mg (one a day), for about five days. The pain is on the L side, just below the rib cage, constant.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I think you should do an abdominal ultrasound. You may be having problems even with pancreas which can cause this pain on the left side. Also, testing amylase and lipase is advisable.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
