Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I know that I am overweight - fatty liver diagnosis from blood tests. For some time, feel that I have swelling on the upper right hand side of my stomach just under my ribs. This has now become very painful when I move. There is also pain in my back . My GPs have sent me for lung, rib x-rays, but I don t think there is anything wrong with my bones. Last year, diagnosed with osteoporosis. Vitamin D very low.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

It could be due to bone pains caused by decreased vitamin D levels.Get your vitamin D levels checked along with the x-ray and ultrasound abdomen to rule out liver and rib problem.If you have further queries I'm happy to help you.
