Anyone else have enexplained liver pain?


I have chronic liver pain that i have had for 2+years. I have had tons of ultrasounds that show nothing to be concerned with, and have slightly elevated liver enzymes. they have done MRI and cat scans, and still no answers to why i would be having PAIN. the only diagnoses they can give me is that i have "fatty liver disease" which is normally something someone would get if they were morbidly obese, or an alcoholic. Neither of which i am, not even close. I had my gallbladder removed 3 years ago, but i still feel like i am having gallbladder attacks, thats what the pain feels like: sharp, crampy, like someone is squeezing my organs and stabbing them. Its horrible and the pain can last anywhere from 20 min.-2 hours. Anyone know of anything that could cause this?

The liver itself doesn't have nerves so most doctors don't believe patients that complain of "liver pain." However, my wife got Hep C from a blood transfusion at birth. Before she was diagnosed, she would complain of "liver pain", not a severe as your description, but similar.
You can only get Hep C from blood to blood contact. Maybe bring it up to a doctor next time. I don't know if this is an answer to your question, but it's good information at least.

Maybe your liver is making too much bile and it's harming itseld and unable to detox the bile. Even if you aren't obese or alcoholic, avoid alcohol and fatty foods. Maybe try a dairy free diet. Fat makes the liver react even stronger now that you don't have your gallbladder to rely on. I got mine removed, and if I eat any fat my liver swells right up.

Have you had blood tests to rule out hepatitis A, B, or C and autoimmune hepatitis?

Have they done exclusionary testing for primary biliary cholangitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis?
