What Causes Numbness And Pain In Abdomen Over The Liver?

I have a numbness on the ride side of my abdomen over my liver. It comes and goes when I stand for to long. I am a big guy so I have a big belly. When I lift my stomach the pain will get better. If I lean on a wall or when grocery shopping lean on the cart it feels better too. The pain is from the inside and the numbness is on the skin over where it hurts.

Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would advise an ultrasound of the abdomen along with routine blood tests like a CBC, LFT, Blood sugar to know the status of your liver and gall bladder. Till then I would advise you for an anti spasmodic and a proton pump inhibitor for a symptomatic relief. Further management would depend on the reports of investigations.


I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
