How Would One Tell They Had Liver Pain

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hello,

How would one tell if they had liver pain? Where would this pain be felt exactly? I always have a sore back but it's bearable and sometimes I get tightness around the front of my right side or my flanks and in paranoid it's under my right rib cage, but I can't even tell its not even that sore. I get IBS but that pain usually comes and goes and is on left side down towards my low back that wraps around the front.

How can I tell? Does this photo look like Jaundice? image

    U would most likely feel pain or tenderness if ur liver is inflammed and is causing the Glisson's capsule (surrounding the liver). The liver doesn't have nerve endings so inflammation, larger liver can cause u to have these symptoms. I can't comment on the jaundice as pictures can be deceiving. Ask ur doc to run a liver function panel and an ultrasound if they suspect ongoing issues. Good luck.
