For Enlarged Liver, Can Any External Fixtures Ensure Pain-free Mobility?

My name is Ellen and I have an enlarged liver. I am going to get blood tests today and next week or so will have an ultrasound done. My question is, is there something I can use to bind my side u?. I can sit back in a recliner or lay in bed and I am given great relief but I can't live this way.
