    Hey Cassie,

    Given the fact it's that area that's tender to the touch and painful, it could be the liver, but on the other hand could be a lot of other things.

    Have you been sick much, or when you have been was your vomit dark at all, like tar? Same question about your stools, anything tar looking?

    Whatever the answers are, I would go to your Doc asap anyway to get blood tests done.
