does fatty liver cause back pain - #18336
I am dealing with a frustrating situation and I'm really hoping you all can help me out. About six months ago, I went for a routine check-up and found out I have a fatty liver. I didn't even know what that meant at first, but after some research, I was honestly pretty freaked out. As if that wasn't enough stress, I’ve started experiencing this annoying lower back pain that just won’t go away. I can’t help but wonder, does fatty liver cause back pain? I mean, it’s like everything went downhill at once. I’ve tried stretching and even some yoga, but the pain feels like it comes and goes. Sometimes it’s sharp; other times, it’s this dull ache that’s just always there, nagging at me! My doctor says the back pain isn’t directly related, but I’m really starting to question that. Has anyone else with a fatty liver experienced similar back issues? I read some things about inflammation and was thinking maybe that plays a role? I just can’t shake the feeling that there’s gotta be a link or maybe it’s just coinsidence? If fatty liver does cause back pain, what can I do about it? Would love any advice or insights. Thanks!
