Oh no. I just found this website! I have been having these pains in my right upper quadrant... I know something is very wrong. I have also been drinking moderately for about 10 years so... I was on birth control for over 10 years. I am 29 years old and recently stopped taking birth control. I started developing varicose veins and theorized that the birth control had something to do with it... The doctor won't admit that birth control is dangerous in any way! But now I am afraid of this pain that I am having. I told the doctor that It feels like my liver. He said "Even after moderate drinking for 10 years it is very unlikely that you have liver problems at 29 years old". That made me a bit angry. I got the blood work done a few weeks ago and they told me that the results are "pretty normal". The doctor ordered a "chest x-ray". I told him that the pain is not in my chest! It's in my side / back under rib cage. But got the x-ray anyways... I have an ultrasound scheduled in two whole scary weeks. I will post again.
