Hi, i know the liver is below the ribcage, but is it possible for someone to feel liver pain between the right armpit and rib cage? thanks

Yes: But it could be something else as well (lung issue, rib issue, etc).

Yes: Because the liver can span from the nipple line to below the rib cage, depending on size and body habitus.
