Advice on pain under ribs right side

Any evidence of gallstones, elevated liver levels, elevated CA-19 (pancreatic cancer marker)? Given your family history and pain, I would think that would warrant further investigation. Just my opinion.

Also does your upper right pain worsen after eating fatty foods? Sorry after thought on my part.

@debrn2005 it definitely is not gallstones since I had my gallbladder removed in the nineties. My liver enzymes show normal always, despite the fatty liver. I did have pain eating fatty foods for several months - at least eighteen - after by gallbladder surgery, but have been able to tolerate fatty and fried foods now. In any case, I rarely eat fatty foods and even less fried because I don’t like deep fried food anyway.

I certainly will discuss the CA-19 test with my physician. If my liver enzymes show normal this test may show normal too - but definitely worth investigating. Thank you for the suggestion!
