I am a 28 y/o female, and have experienced pain in my mid abdomen where my liver would be. I feel a mass extending below my right ribcage, and have undergone two CT scans and pelvic/abdominal ultrasounds, all of which were normal. The radiologist said that my liver does extend below my ribcage, having a possible Riedel's lobe. However, I have been experiencing discomfort in that region and can constantly feel my liver. It is more painful after massaging that region, although it feels better while doing so. It also feels tight only in that area when I puff my stomach out by inhaling air. I also have pain after drinking alcohol in the mid right quadrant of abdomen (right of my navel), which sometimes extends to the back where my kidneys would be.
I am concerned because while the scans and ultrasounds are normal, I still feel pain. This has been persisting for two years. I want to see what options I have and whether an internal medicine physician could help with lifestyle or other remedies to alleviate the pain. Clearly the tests are not detecting the source of the pain.
