A member asked:

I have constant pain under my ribs, could this be my liver or something else?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Abdominal pain: It depends upon what side is the pain. Liver and gallbladder are on right side whereas spleen is on left side.

Either one: Could be your liver, your spleen, your stomach, your colon, you diaphragm. You really need to be evaluated because a lot of stuff is around there.
