A member asked:

Can the left lobe of the liver cause pain on my luq?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Referred pain: Certainly, many types of pain can be "referred' which basically means that pain in one area may actually be originating from a different anatomical location. This is very common on the abdomen. 'With that being said, liver discomfort normally presents with symptoms in the right upper quadrant.
