What Causes Swelling In Stomach Under The Ribs?

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.
