Why Do I Have Rib Pain And Slouching Near The Liver?

My CT scans shows "fatty replacement of the liver" which I have never had before; I had ovarian cancer, surgery, and chemo 5 years ago. I do not drink, am only slightly overweight, but do have high tryglicerides since chemo. I have some rib pain when I slouch at the liver spot. Why do I have this now and what should I do? I want to get my health back.

Hi. Rib pain at the said spot can be due to costochonditis, that is swelling of the rib-ends. But with the history of ovarian cancer, it will be better to rule out any secondary by x-ray or CT of the same ribs.
