Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right part of the abdomen, just below the ribs, where the liver is located. This pain may also radiate to the right shoulder, back, or even the neck due to referred pain from inflammation or irritation of tissues surrounding the liver, such as the Glisson's capsule (the membrane covering the liver)

. Because the liver itself lacks pain receptors, the discomfort usually arises from stretching or inflammation of the liver's capsule or adjacent tissues. The pain can vary in quality, often described as dull, throbbing, or sharp, and its intensity can fluctuate depending on the underlying cause

. In summary, liver pain is most commonly felt:

• In the upper right abdomen below the ribs
• Sometimes radiating to the right shoulder or shoulder blade
• Occasionally extending to the back or neck

This distribution can make it difficult to distinguish liver pain from pain caused by other abdominal or musculoskeletal conditions
