| right sided back/abdominal and flank pain. Possibly liver? brown coated tongue too
Hi,
I would so appreciate anyone who has liver problem experience reading this and responding.
I have had right sided lower back, flank, abdominal and pelvic pain and pressure for over 1 1/2 years now. It comes and goes, sometimes bad, sometimes not ther at all. Sometimes when it's bad my right ribs actually hurt.
I've had bloodwork, all normal as recently as January of 2007. Sept. 2006 I had a normal CT scan, July '06 had normal pelvic ultrasound, March '06 had normal abdominal ultrasound. I recently had a small intestine followthrough that was normal. My OB-GYN is considering laprascopic surgery, but I am currently having a symptom that is making me think more it's possibly a liver problem.
My tongue has had a brownish coating on it for 2 weeks. I can brush a little of it off when I brush, but it comes back/ My tongue feels kind of dry too. I don't smoke or drink or take any medications. I've tried brushing it better, switching toothpaste, even chewing fresh pineapple, but it's still brown. It slightly feels like it's burning too, but not real bad yet.
Should I go back to the doctor and request more searching into liver problems? I don't know if the back pain goes along with it. I have no jaundice. I never have been a drinker or used illegal drugs.
Also, I had my gallbladder out in 1993, so maybe my liver is overworked????
