Hi All,

Since my last post I have had no alcohol for about two weeks, but what is really worrying me now is that I have been getting a stabbing pain in my back at the right side below my ribs and this sometimes comes through to the front,  It is not a constant pain but comes and goes,  I was wondering if it could be due to inflamation in my liver or something more sinister?  I also have went at the exercising a bit too hard (Kettlebells, sit ups etc), and was wondering if I've pulled a muscle, but surely this would be a constant pain?  The only other thing I can think of is wind as when I pass wind it seems to ease (sorry for that picture!!).  I also have changed my diet quite a bit.  Does Liver inflamation or Cirrhosis cause a constant pain or can it be occasional and stabbing like this?  Any help and information would be greatly appreciated as I am really worried taht there is serious damage to my liver.  Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.
