Last day of school before break! Whoo!!
About Me: Female, 16, Waukesha, WI, member since Nov 2011
I have a few different medical problems. Some are originally related to my weight, but even when under control, I still have...issues, I suppose. And I'm here just so I can get some answers that people haven't been able to give me.
...
[More]
I have the following conditions:
1. NAFLD (Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease)
2. Irritable bowel
3. Recurring pain from a surgery on my arm to remove a benign dermal fibrous histiocytoma
4. Electrolyte embalance
5. Fainting
The doctors said my liver is in good health now. I have regular blood work done, and all of my numbers are normal. I don't know what causes the pain and I literally don't have any answers. My doctors have actually told me, "We don't know what's giong on" before, and that hurts.
I had an EMG/NCV on my arm to see whats going on with the pain, but they said they didn't find anything related. I have my C6 vertibre (sorry if that's spelled wrong) adjusted but that's all they found. I talked to my PCP and she said that C6 didn't make sense with my pain area (upper arm, anterior, almost to the shoulder on the right). As I said, this pain started because of a lump on my arm that turned out to be a dermal fibrous histiocytoma. This pain now feel the exact same as it did before the surgery... I've yet to meet anyone else who's has a DFH, and I would like to meet someone who's had the non-cancerous form and compare notes and see if this is normal, or if I should have a serious talk with my doctor.
The liver hurts, as well, and the doctors tell me that, along with my constant diarrhea, doesn't match with NAFLD. When I ask them, "Could it be something else?" my doctors says that they're "grouping" it as IBS, because they don't know any other answers.
So I'm stuck in this loop. I'm always sick. And as a 16-year-old girl, getting ready for college, I don't know what I'm going to do. This is wearing on my school work, my social life, and my chances of getting a good job. How am I supposed to pull a psychology degree when I'm always sick?
Please. I'm not looking for attention. I just really want some answers. [Less]

Emmy,It is no surprise that the stool tests showed negative.It requires some persistence and the use of concentration methods to idetify GI.Amebiasis and the hepatic counterpart.
My best wishes.

I had a look at your symptoms. If the pain is referred from the liver, you could have pain to the Rt. shoulder (Reffered pain). Amoebiasis can both cause loose motions and hepatic symptoms. Do get a stool test (concentration method) for amoebic cysts or trophozoites.Dermal fibroma is unlikely to be the source of pain.
Best wishes.
