A member asked:
Thought with an enlarged liver, why does my left side hurt instead of my right side?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2 reasons: First, a enlarged liver can actually involve the left side too if it gets very big. Secondly, sometimes the spleen also swells when the liver enlarges - and this is on your left side. See your doctor just to be sure everything is ok.
