I am 60 years old. I have had cysts on my liver for many years. Recently discovered that one of them grew from 6.4 cm last year to 7.8 this year. I learned this because I had to have a CT scan and bloodwork due to extreme pain, just under my right rib. The pain is very localized to one spot and has been there for four days now with no let up. Is this common to have pain from liver cysts? I have no other symptoms, but the pain is somewhat debilitating as it hurts to breathe, move, or do anything. The pain feels like I might rupture something if I am not careful. Very twisting stabbing type of pain. Has anyone else experienced this?

they thought I might have pancreatitis or gastritis, but I’m not sick in any other way and the test all came back negative.

I have liver cysts and it depends a bit on what has caused them as to the seriousness of symptoms. I have all the historical marker to suggest hydrated cysts and if they ruptured the consequences can be dangerous. Are yours septated?
