A member asked:
Is it normal for my upper abdomen to be so firm and hurt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It is not normal for anybody's upper abdomen to be firm nor hurt. Pain means something is wrong. In the upper abdomen are the stomach, liver, spleen, and parts of other organs. A primary care doctor or a GI doctor can help figure out the problem.
