I have had this pain for almost a year now on the right upper side of my stomach around my liver area, it's like a burning sensation, it burns for about 10 minutes especially when I wake up early in the mornings. I went to a specialist and I did an MRI and nothing showed. Has anyone else had this problem before if you had it, can you tell me what were you diagnosed with?

Ask for a colonoscopy.

That location is consistant with where you gall bladder is.
However, the symptomology ("burning sensation") might also be non-typical hernia. If you force yourself to cough hard while holding your hand over the place you feel the sensation, does it pop out instead of hardening up? -- if so, hernia
I recommend you see your doc again. Sometimes getting these things treated is a process of elimination.

K H!
You are going to drive a scope all the way up there to look with a colonoscopy recommendation??!!
Please explain route to me.
Some people have chronic spasming of the serratus or diaphram that occurs upon entering or exiting sleep or sitting leaning forward when tense.

Pains on the right side are usually assosciated with appendix rupturing or kidney stones, or possibly just muscle cramps. But what you have sounds like a serious condition. Talk to your doctor, they usually can give you a better answer than a specialist...

liver sounds just about right
i would change to a healthier diet and see if that helps
also, stop drinking alcohol for a while and see if that helps

How about a new mattress? The old one may have a lump in your favorite sleep spot and you get an ache there.
