liver which side of body - #18977

Sia

I am really confused about this whole liver thing. I mean, I never really thought about which side of the body the liver is on until I started feeling this weird discomfort. For the last few weeks, I’ve had some nagging pain, and I thought it was just a side stitch from running, but then I remembered reading something about the liver and its location. It’s on the right side, right? But like, what if it’s not? I’ve been feeling this heaviness on that side, and sometimes there’s this dull ache, which makes me think maybe it’s connected to the liver? I went to my doc, and they did some blood tests but haven’t called me back yet, which is frustrating! I’m worried that I might be ignoring something serious. Can the liver actually cause pain on the right side? Or, like, am I just overthinking everything? I wish I knew more about why it’s so hard to pinpoint which side the liver is on. I'm trying to remember if I even ate anything weird lately... I’ve heard that some people have gallbladder issues too and it can feel similar? Anyway, just hoping someone can shed some light on which side of the body the liver is and what kind of symptoms to look out for. Thanks!
