Pain On Right Side With Bloated Feeling Could Be Liver Problem?
I have been to the doctor and was sent for US and was cleared that it isn't the gallbladder. I have been pain in my right side/back, feel bloated, can't sleep at night because of the dull constant pain. Seem to feel.full all the time and now my Dr wants a cbc, cmp and many hepatitis tests. Can this really be the liver causing this

do you have jaundice ( yellow skin or eyes)? how long has this been going on? any previous surgical history? does the pain worsen with food? any reflux?
it could be a liver problem but that'll be low on my differential. even with a normal right upper quadrant US, your gall bladder could a have functional problem so you wanna check a HIDA scan. also consider investigation with EGD to evaluate for ulcer vs dyspepsia vs GERD. it's ok to proceed with those labs but if they're normal , discuss eith your dr about other things mentioned
