Lingering Pain Just Under The Right Rib Cage With USG Revealing Fatty Deposits In Liver?

I am a 67 year old active male, I have had recurring dull pain, lasting all day , several days in a row, just under right rib cage. I have had a Ultrasound and they have identified fatty deposits in liver , but that was it?? Pain still seems to linger.

Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM.
I am here to help you.
If your USG has Fatty liver, i would like to know if you take alcohol. If you take it is because of that.
In case you don't take , it might be Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.
I advice you following :
1. LFT
2. Viral Markers.

Review with me about alcohol history and with reports.
I find this answer helpful
