RUQ Pain and Liver Spot

To answer your questions:
1) Difficult to say.  It is possible that the lesions may be a factor.  Other possibilities can be musculoskeletal in nature - including pain from rib or overlying muscle.

2) Both scenarios are possible.  Without knowing exactly what the spot is, it is difficult to speculate.  

3) Again, I'm just speculating since I don't have the reports in front of me.  It is entirely possible that the lesions in both the lung and liver can be caused by either infection or cancer.  I would not rely on the degree of pain influencing what the diagnosis could be.

4) You can always consider another opinion.  An MRI as well as biopsy of the lesions can lead to a more definitive diagnosis.  

Followup with your personal physician is essential.
