Guest guest Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 I believe it's the membrane around the liver that has nerves and that causes pain. If the liver changes size, the nerves in the membrane respond with pain.Marie To: From: grahammilligan@...Date: Sat, 27 Sep 2008 02:02:14 +0000Subject: Re: RUQ pain radiating? Hi Sara My Doctor had no comment on the pain, apart from telling me to get back to him if it got worse. There was a discussion on this board about liver pain a couple of years ago. Anyone please correct me if I am wrong, We discussed that your actual liver has no nerves and therefore should not cause you any pain. I do know with having a liver biopsy, no anaesthetic - which was not painful at all, just a very strange feeling...I was able to see on the screen the magnified needle sucking a piece of liver out...I think if the same needle had been put into a muscle without any anaesthetic I would have been screaming in pain!!

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Marie and , Thank you, both. That theory about the membrane nerves response of pain, does make a lot of sense. And that explains why my doctor has told me that the colon is also contributing into the pain. My best wishes to you, two. Take care.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Hi Marie thanks for the word 'membrane', that was the word I could not remember. I have had search through past discussion. If you type 20730 into message number search (in the area just above list of messages or a posting) it will bring up a long list of a previous discussion on 'liver pain'.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 My PCP is a D.O. and with my RUQ he was the first one to suggest an adjustment to relax it if it was myo skelatal. It helps when I do get an adjust so that my spine is in alignment. I have had a D.O. for a long time and one of the 1st things I have checked it to make sure I am in alignment. When my spine is aligned my body in general feels better.

Last winter I was in such pain I went to the ER and was admitted. After multiple test, the docs didn't find a reason and during a bedside conference a young intern suggested that it could be myo-skeletal.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 I think did have an adjuustment, long time ago. May be it is time for another one. It does help. By the way, what is a D.O.? And again, thanks for sharing.
