I've been feeling something really weird on the left side, just below my ribs for the past three months. It's like a mix of pain, ticklish sensations, and bubbling. At one point, I thought maybe I'd torn a muscle, so I rushed to emergency. They did an ECG, checked my blood pressure, and even took an X-ray, but everything came back normal. I'm on some meds that the doctor gave me from the GD Diabetes Centre like Voveran SR, Pan D, and Trinerve 75. But still, when I touch the area, it hurts a bit, and when I don't, it feels ticklish and painful at the same time. Any idea what's going on or if I should be concerned?

I'm a bit concerned because my bilirubin levels are slightly elevated at about 2.1. I really would prefer not to use antibiotics and I'm thinking of trying a natural remedy or supplement to help with this. Between Liv 52 and Milk Thistle, which one would be a better choice for me?

-Given that your bilirubin is slightly elevated at 2.1, both Liv 52 and Milk Thistle can support liver health. Milk Thistle is often recommended for detoxifying the liver and reducing inflammation. Liv 52 has a more comprehensive formulation for liver fun
