HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern if the liver enlargement is suspected clinically the this need to be confirmed with scanning, if you have rib pain then this might be muscular pain and not related with the unconfirmed liver argument, if this is could be liver enlargement the also it may not cause any rib problem unless have some serious pathology, just forget about this, take it easy, no need to worry about the pain this could be functional pain, hope this information helps you have nice day.
