'Liver Ache'

[lizagood1]

I know from reading posts on here that the liver is not supposed to feel pain, however I woke up with an aching sensation in the area of my liver, has anyone else felt this. I'm currently waiting for results of a blood tests for a suspected PBC/AIH overlap and whether or not I will be having a liver biopsy. Thanks for reading x

I believe this is quite common, I know I get the same ache on and off.

It's worth considering that whilst you're waiting for test results etc you're going to be very aware of that area.

Hi, I understand what you mean. My pain is cramp where the liver is situated and it stops me dead in my tracks. Hepatologist not concerned, but I am. I suffer with cirhossis, quite advanced and other liver issues but the pain is quite unbearable.

Good luck

It is not from your actual liver that you get the pain. There is a capsule around you liver which is full f nerves, and that is probably where the pain is omng from, especially if your liver is inflammed . Or the other source could be the liver pressing against other organs , etc.

One doc will tell me it is liver pains another says liver doesn't cause pain myself I think it's the portal hypertension (pressure on the main artery that goes through your liver) but that's just my thought
