Beta, liver discomfort is usually felt as a dull ache in the upper right side of your stomach, just below the ribs. Avoid heavy, oily foods, but please get it checked by a doctor if the pain continues.

True liver pain is felt in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen and can sometimes radiate to your right shoulder. If you also notice dark urine or yellowish eyes, you should get a Liver Function Test done.

Don't guess or self-diagnose abdominal pain. If you have persistent discomfort on the upper right side, go to a gastroenterologist and get an ultrasound done.

When I had pain in that area, I went to a gastroenterologist at a good hospital. They did an ultrasound and liver blood tests, which is the only way to know what is actually happening.
