Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor. Noted you are having fatty liver. So first possibility is it could be referred pain from liver or gastric cause. Second pain could be muscular because of muscle strain by heavy exercise, heavy weight lifting or any unaccustomed situation. Third pain could be by Costco Chat Doctor. Take rest. Analgesic for pain. Avoid heavy work for few days. Hot compress can take for pain. You will recover within few days. If still complaint increasing then x-ray done to rule out rib fracture like condition. I hope your concern solved. Take care.
