Unhappy 22 y/o Male RUQ pain

Hi,

Been suffering from RUQ pain (that occaisonally moves to my back) and Fatigue with occaisional nausea for 8 months now.

Went to the doctors back in April he said it could be gastritis if it didnt go away with nexuim.

Went back in may he ran a blood test found my liver enzymes ALT 104 all others were normal.

He said i could have fatty liver disease as my alcohol intake at that point was high(drinking heavily at least 4 nights out of 7) and i weighed 200lbs (which was obese for my 5'8 frame)

I got in for an ultrasound in August was completely normal in the mean time had a blood test and my ALT had returned to normal (25).

had an X ray in sept and that was completely normal.

I quit drinking alcohol 8 months ago no longer have caffiene and fatty foods and lost weight so i was close to normal as my frame would allow.

Im just looking for some suggestions as to why i am feeling so bad. The pain is 24/7 but sometimes is worse than others and the fatigue is worse some days than others.

Ive been referred to a Gastroentorologist (dont think ive spelt that right) at the hospital but the NHS is so slow i have to wait another 2 months for the appointment.

Should i still be worried about liver disease if all my recent liver tests are negative?

What else could be causing the pain,fatigue and nausea?


Many thanks

James Burn

Re: 22 y/o Male RUQ pain

I've had similar problems for a year minus the high ALT. I've had many tests with no answers. Doctor most recently attributed it to IBS.

You could be having symptoms of Pancreatitis, if your symptoms become severe go to the ER and have it evaluated. Two months is a long time to wait. Are you losing weight?
