Should be examined: Fatty liver is common in the U.S., and can happen in people who have high triglycerides, metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes, obesity, etc... People usually don't feel anything with mild fatty liver, so if one feels pain, swelling, bloating, burning, etc..., a doctor can evaluate to see if there is also another problem, such as gall bladder disease, pancreatitis, an ulcer, a cancer tumor, etc...

fatty liver: If you are having pain in your right upper quadrant, it may not be from fatty liver disease, and may actually be from problems with your gallbladder. You should see a doctor, have a complete metabolic panel drawn, and have a right upper quadrant ultrasound done.
