A member asked:
Im having right side rib cage pain is it my liver or no? when i touch a certain bone in that area it hurts so its more likely muscle pain you think?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not liver: Liver disease is almost never painful. Far more likely would be muscle strain or costochondritis (sore joint wher rib meets cartilage.)
