A member asked:
Is it possible to feel fatty liver ache from obesity even in your lower right back under ribcage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Fatty liver is asymptomatic in most patients, but occasionally people complain of some vague discomfort in the liver area, which is in the right upper quadrant (under the ribcage). It's still debatable whether it is a liver related pain or rather a gallbladder one that seems to be more frequently affected in individuals with fatty liver disease.
