Pain

[Watersk]

I have pain in my right rib cage. I’m concerned it’s related to my liver. It feels tender on the actually rib cage. How do I know if it’s my liver causing the pain or my rib cage?

Did you get your liver checked the last time you had a random symptom and posted? - pruritis you thought.

The only way to check if anything is potentially liver related is to see your doctor for tests.

There are lots of other things that can cause rib area pain such as Costochondritis (An inflammation of the connective tissue where the ribs attach to the breastbone (sternum). Characterized by dull to sharp pain at the front of the chest wall that may radiate to the back or abdomen.)

None of us are qualifed to say anything based on a two line post. You need to see your doctor for assessment and tests.

I had blood tests all were ok that’s all. Itching has stopped.

Hi Watersk, it is impossible to know what is causing your pain, but if you are in discomfort then I would suggest discussing this with your GP.Take care,
