Upper Right Abdominal Pain...and Fatty Liver

[lmeirose]

I have been having pain in the upper right abdominal area for some time now. Under my ribs and almost on the side. I was taking a lot of Rheumatoid medication due to my doctors thing I had RA. My liver levels were elevated and I had this same pain then. I had a sonogram and a Hida scan (sp?) They told me I had Fatty Liver, to lose weight and to stop taking my Arava. I did and levels went back down. This was maybe a year ago.

Now it is back and it sometimes it makes me sick to my stomach and I have a lot of gas. Also, my bowel movements are mostly yellow soft to almost runny (sorry). My urine is bright yellow almost neon.

Recently, my husbands ins plan changed and we have to pay a lot more now. I don't have money that I can throw around on a whole bunch of tests. Is there anything you can suggest that may be the problem? And what tests I should under take?

Thank you so much for your time.

The hida scan in one of the best tests for your gallbladder.

This sounds like it could be your gallbladder which is located in the same area as the liver.
