What does Liver Pain feel like?

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody,

I was hoping someone could describe to me in more detail what exactly

the right upper quadrant pain that some of you have feels like. I

tried to do a search of past postings, and came up with SO many

results for liver pain and RUQ pain that it was difficult to wade

through to find exactly what I was looking for.

Just today I started having a new pain, something different than what

I've ever had before--not muscle pain, not gut pain, but ~something

else~ that just feels odd and uncomfortable. It is definitely in the

right upper quadrant, behind my breast and just a bit lower. I can

only describe it as being a strong constant ache that does not desist

with any kind of movement or stretching. It is almost a feeling

of..... heaviness, I guess; maybe sort of a fullness feeling? I

would say it's a 4 or 5 on the pain scale; bothersome, and I've just

taken some ibuprofen, but not intense.

Thanks all,

Genevieve
