I've had a re-occuring slight burning pain on the upper right side of my ribs about 7 inches under my arm pit. I also have a dull very mild ache or full sensation in the lower right abdomen about 3 inches below my ribs and tends to not always be in the same spot. I've had comprehensive blood tests, urine test, stool sample, ultrasound, full neck to pelvis CT Scan (with contrast), chest X-Ray, Lung compacity test - ALL tested normal. I have no other sympotoms and feel absolutely fine. My AST is only slightly elevated (50). All other liver function test are normal.

This has been going on for about 7 months. I've been very concerned there could be a problem with my liver as I was a heavy drinker for about 11 years. I still drink, but much less. I also drink about 3 cups of coffee per day. My diet otherwise is healthy and balanced. I'm not overweight and I'm a 37 year old male. Unfortunately I come from a family of heavy drinkers but no occurances of any liver problems. Doctor says I'm fine but still feel the pain and don't know what to do. Please help.
