In Reply to: abdominal tenderness near liver posted by roe on October 26, 2000 at 10:54:35:

: Maybe this sounds strange, regardless, hope someone can shed some light. Under my right rib area, in the vacinity of the liver, it is very tender, and feels "lumpy". Would this be lymph nodes? Trying not to see a doc, unless someone strongly suggests it. I'm a single 38 yr old mom, no insurance. Thanks!!
i know you don't want to see a doctor, but there's a simple blood test you could do that could check the function of your liver.If that came out normal its probably a good indication your liver is doing o.k.
