I first experienced pain under the right side of my ribs over a year ago. My GP thought it was gallbladder related so sent me for an ultrasound which was done around March 2024. Changes within my liver were noted; the report included words like bright echo, fatty infiltration and decreased echogenicity.
Liver bloods were normal.
My GP wrote to the Royal Infirmary Glasgow requesting an appointment and/or a fibroscan.
I was denied both requests by the hospital and instead told to lose weight - I'm 5'3.5" and was 64kg and now weigh 59.5kg. I'm female, in my 50s, and do not drink alcohol.
I still experience rib pain despite lifestyle changes; I'm concerned that it's not just fatty liver and also disappointed that doctors have ignored my symptoms. Can someone reassure me that all is well with my liver?
