Livers cannot be in "pain", however when damaged they can swell and the swelling causes pain in nearby areas. If very diseased, the liver not only swells, but starts giving off a ton of fluid, which can displace other organs and tissues causing discomfort. I am not a doctor, this is just information that I received while helping to care for a dear friend who died from liver disease. That being said, there could be completely differdnt reasons for your symptoms, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys etc. Please see a doctor so you know what you're dealing with..a lot of medical conditions are treatable if diagnosed early enough.
