Obviously people will say go to GP, but I already have done during pregnancy and after pregnancy. So do not want to bother them again.
I have had this dull sort of constant ache in my right hand abdomen - sort of behind the edge of my ribs, a little higher than belly button level but not central - since around November last year. That was halfway through a pregnancy. So of course I researched and thought gallstones must be brewing. So once the baby was born I had a gallbladder scan - nothing there. I think it was a full abdomen scan, she seemed pretty thorough and so I reckon she checked pancreas, liver etc too. She said there was nothing to see, and I don’t spose there’s really muscles there, so what could be the problem?
The pain does get more noticeable after I eat sometimes. It is like a low-level stitch. Sometimes radiates down to my low back or up to my shoulder. OBVIOUSLY I am worrying every day that I have pancreatic cancer but I have no other symptoms thank god. But they do say no symptoms of that show up until it’s too late. But also, have had the scan and nothing seen. So I know rationally that is HIGHLY unlikely.
I do have a slightly fatty liver, so does that fit? Wouldn’t the pain then not be in this one specific spot (the liver is massive)? I never drink but am size 16 so now the kids are back at school I am doing tons of exercise and hoping if this pain is to do with fatty liver, it will go away ??
(Yes I do have anxiety but that cleared up beautifully while pregnant - coming back now - so wouldn’t have thought this would be down to that).
Thanks!
