PRESSURE UNDER RIGHT RIB CAGE

This has been going on for a year now and it's about to drive me absolutely insane.  It started when I woke up one morning to a feeling like someone had stuck a tennis ball between my rib cage and my liver.  I wouldn't say it was pain, but just a constant nagging swollen feeling.  Sometimes it's in the front, sometimes on the side, and sometimes on the back right on the corner of my shoulder blade.  I did a lot of my own research and it fit quite a few symptoms of gall bladder dysfuntion except for the fact that I did not react any differently to fatty foods, and I did not experience attacks rather just a constant pressure.  The problem was, every doctor I went to insisted that it was a gall bladder issue, and wanted me to have it out.  I went ahead with the surgery, and sure enough, it did not help at all.  I have had all the tests on my liver, and liver function is normal.  Could this still be a swollen liver?

I have similar symptoms with the side pain and back pain pressure.  Last week a health food store employee suggested the book The Liver And Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse by Andreas Moritz.  It talks about how the liver can have gallstones in it that can contribute to multiple illnesses and diseases.  Once cleansed out a new life is around the corner! It is extremely informative and I highly recommend all to read this.  Good luck!

Its hard to say what without having something to go on. Please copy and paste your liver panel lab results here. Include the ranges too. When was the last time you had a liver biopsy?
