I have been experiencing pain for about 3 weeks on my right side and left side. A little in my back and pelvic area. I did a cat scan without contrast and the radiologist said that the liver was enlarged. My doctor did a bloodtest and one of the liver enzymes were slightly elevated. He checked the liver and it was a normal size. He sent me for another cat scan with contrast because the other one got lost. That one came out normal. I went to the ER because no pain medicine was helping. They did a chest x-ray as well as an abdominal x-ray. Normal. Sonogram was taken and it showed the liver enlarged. Doctor in hospital called my GP. GP said that I should go for an MRI of the spine as it can be a pinched nerve. Can the 2 of them be related? If the cat scan came out normal then why did the sonogram show the liver enlarged? What does it mean liver enlarged? Can it be that that is my normal size liver? If it is a pinched nerve then do I worry about the liver? The liver tests showed normal

The pain in the area of the liver can be related to the pinched nerve. If the nerve to your liver is pinched, it's like a garden hose that's kinked--all the information that your nerves are trying to carry to and from your liver aren't getting through. It bothers me that first the liver was enlarged then it wasnt and that doctors are losing your CT films. I'm in chiropractic college right now and I've been to one as a patient and worked for one for a while and have seen amazing things happen. My mom had a pinched nerve in her shoulder and the chiropractor that she goes to helped her with it. Check in your area for one. Different chiropractors use different adjusting technique, so just find one your are comfortable with (Activator is the most gentle method-it uses a small device to apply a low force to move the bones that might be the root of the pinched nerve and if your a ina lot of pain it will be the easiest for you). When you go take all your films (MRI, CT's, xrays, etc). I'm truley sorry for your pain and hope that something/someone will be able to help you with this problem. Best of luck to you.

Have your pelvic area examined for possible mass.
