Leg pain
Confused, because I have my liver function and kidney function checked every six months with bloodwork. Why wasn’t it caught sooner? Relieved in a way because now I knew what was causing my symptoms. Worried about keeping my job since I’m so fatigued and uncomfortable. I also feel like no one is taking my diagnosis seriously, so I feel alone.
An MRI report in 2019 revealed I had an adenoma that was probably benign" and that I had steatosis. My family physician said it was "probably okay". She also said she didn't know what fatty liver was but a lot of people have it. HCC was found incidentally and I had a liver resection. My problem is a family history of cholesterol and hyperlipidemia which often gets missed because it affects women with a low body mass index. It is 7 months later and axCT Scan was done two weeks ago. The report will probably be available in a month so my surgeon had nothing to discuss on my first follow up. The hospital radiologists have a backlog. It appears that none of this has been taken seriously. I am doing whatvI can with diet and exercise.
I had a blood test which said I was in severe range of Nash
