Constant pain in rib, back and shoulder. Ultrasound shows liver cyst and pelviectasis
Patient: I have had constant URQ pain (under rib, radiating to back and shoulder) for 10 days. An ultrasound 5 days ago showed only a smaller benign liver cyst and pelviectasis. For the past couple of days I have had pretty constant back pain in both left and right kidney areas. Doctor: hi,      kidney cysts can cause pain in loin but smaller sized cysts usually are asymptomatic. your back ache can be mechanical back ache due to sprain or disc problem and is less likely to be due to liver or kidney cysts. RUQ pain can be due to gall stones or gastric pain. as you don't seem to have stones, you may try antacids like rabeprazole along with ibuprofen 400 mg twice a day for 5 days and see the response.hope this helped.
