HI.
The cause of such a pain in upper center of the abdomen which radiates to back can be either due to gastric ulcer or cancer or pancreatitis.
I would advise you to first get your Upper GI Endoscopy and ultrasonography of the abdomen and serum amylase and lipase , EKG to rule out refereed cardiac pain. This will help to get a proper diagnosis to get a proper treatment .
Repeat the liver function tests to see the changes .
