What Causes Stinging Pain In My Liver Area?

Hello, one month ago I had a wave of stinging pain in my liver area that lasted about 8 seconds. It then mainly went away. Now, I m having the same thing, but it s not going away. I had it this morning, and It s 3:34 PM now. I ve experiencing light waves of aches, very light ache/stings, a feeling similar to hunger, and the area from my solarplex to head is rather hot. I also experience similar symptoms in my opposite side, though much, much less. I have experienced a stinging in my right upper leg the day after the incident a month ago. Also, if I move my legs around, which in turn moves my stomach since I have a large gut, it dilutes the symptoms.

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
Your symptoms may be suggestive of gallbladder stones so you should do at least ultrasound or CT scan to evaluate it more accurately. This is caused by stone in bile duct and is very common condition. Stones are see more commonly in obese people and those with diabetes.

You need to change your dietary habits first. Need to avoid fried food, carbonated drinks, coffee, alcohol and spicy food. You should eat more milk products, vegetables and boiled food. If there is no improvement on lifestyle or dietary changes, then surgery is recommended. Other causes include pancreatitis or pleuordinia and should be considered if gallbaldder stones are ruled out.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
