Pain is my main issue. Actually my only symptoms. I was diagnosed with a slight fatty liver, 7 years ago and wasn't concerned at the time. I was foolish and ignored the issue. I got to 200 lbs. I'm only 5'7". I started having some back pain 4 years ago, but very rarely. About 2 years ago it started to be a problem. I got blood work done as well as an ultrasound. I was diagnosed with NAFLD. I lost weight and got to 180 lbs and it was better. Over time I managed to get my weight to 170 lbs. Still overweight but much better. Unfortunately, like many others, once COVID hit, I stopped exercising as much and was eating poorly again, mainly due to stress. I went back up to 185 lbs by this January. Since then I have been eating better and have lost weight again, but this time it hasn't made me feel better. I still have the same amount of pain as I did in January when I weighed 185. Some days I can barely get out of bed. Other days I have almost no pain and I can walk and bike easily. When the pain is at its worst, I take a long shower, alternating between hot and cold. I have tried Robax Platinum with some success. I get so tired those days as well. I have come to the end of my rope. I eat only salad, fruit, fish, occasionally nuts, whey protein and soy protein.

Hi I’m nikki and the problem I have is that no Matter what I eat or drink I get a sharp lingering pain. How can I maybe slow it done or stop it? I’m taking milk thistle but I just started that last week.

Pauline 48; I would keep complaining until the doctor or a doctor listens. They spend 5 min with you and run to the next patient. It's your dime, make him listen to you. Prior to going to doc, write down your concerns so you're ready for that discussion.
