A member asked:

I was diagnosed of fatty liver..but the pains comes so much after a few days of exercise.should i stop exercising and is the use of pain killer good?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fatty liver: in general doesn't cause significant pain. The treatment is weight loss through appropriate diet and exercise. To stop exercising and start taking pain killers would be counter-productive, and I would imagine your health would deteriorate rather than improve.
