A member asked:

Hello and thank you all for this! so i have a pain on my right ribbe l think it might be my liver but how would i know?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: Pain from your liver would probably be located in your right upper abdomen but not on the rib itself, to know if something is a matter with your liver a simple blood test may give you an idea or if blood test is normal your doctor may order a sonogram/ct scan.
