What Causes Sharp Pain In My Lower Right Side?

I have fatty liver disease, my liver hurting much of the day by the way, I have no credit card if this is the way it usually works-so if a credit card is needed then I must stop the contents. I have had a sharp pain in my lower right side and when I take my thumb and put it on my naval, my 2nd finger is where it hurts. the problem is that it didn t hurt al day yesterday just about 8 hours, went away then about l0:00 a.m it is back. could it be part of the fatty liver disease. I was of the understanding that an appendicitis attack does not go away therefore should I not worry about it or go to ER in case it is appendix. it s quite a shorp pain

Hi,

I cannot say in your particular case without directly examining. appendix pain is quite variable BUT is on the right mostly. It is mostly below the naval BUT, this varies. Appendicitis IS an emergency and not at all likely to continue without causing potentially fatal rupture for over a day. Fatty liver is quite common and obviously most people with it do not have significant pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
