A member asked:

If pain under right rib area gets aggrevated with movement then does this mean it is not liver related pain?

Not specific: Neither the presence nor absence of pain increased with movement identifies such a pain as liver-related, unfortunately.

Not helpful: A swollen painful liver will hurt more with significant movement or jarring of the right lower rib cage.
