  1. I have sharp pains below my ribs on both side. But my gi says nothing to do with my liver. Rest of my drs say nothing but talk to your gi. Gi says talk to your drs. I've given up ,just have to live with it

    1. how frustrating! I’m sorry your doctors haven’t been more helpful. I hope you find this article of interest https://nashdisease.net/living/permanent-damage-pain. Hopefully you’re able to get some answers and relief from the pain. Best wishes, Julie (team member)

  2. how long does the procedure take?

    1. Hi! Which procedure are you wanting to more about? -Julie (team member)

  3. I have constant pain under my ribs, lower back,wraps around my hips. I keep telling my drs but Noone cares or seems concerned. Should I be concerned??

    1. it can be really frustrating feeling dismissed or unheard by your doctors. The pain you’re describing sounds similar to what one of our advocates describes in this article https://nashdisease.net/living/permanent-damage-pain. I hope you’re able to find relief and answers. Best wishes, Julie (team member)

  4. HOW THE HECK CAN A PERSON KNOW IN TIME TO FIX IT IF SHE HAS NO SYMPTOMS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

    1. I have been diagnosed with Fatty Liver Disease. I wouldn't have known it, except I have a vigilant nurse practitioner who recommended I see a hepatologist for further testing after my blood work came back. I have made radical changes to my diet and lifestyle.

    2. Thanks for sharing - it sounds like you're taking major steps to improve your health! And I'm glad you have a vigilant nurse practitioner on your side. Having the right care team can make all the difference. -Alexa (team member)
