    Your liver doesn’t have any nerve endings inside of it, so your have no way of knowing if there’s something wrong with it, unless it suffers a traumatic injury. So don’t worry, the pain your feel isn’t your liver failing, because you’d never notice it.

    Hopefully everybody finds this reassuring.

      Unless you have the misfortune to have refered pain from a bad liver. This includes feeling a horrendous sharp pain in your armpit and under your shoulder blade. I experienced this and thought I was having a heart attack only to find out I had a rather large liver tumor pressing into my diaphragm. Lucky for me it was benign but now I’m blessed with reliving that pain periodically when the weather changes. I really hope I don’t have a heart attack down the road and ignore it thinking it’s just normal for me.
