Worried

I have someone very close to me that says they have lesions in their liver. When tested nothing was found and all blood test were normal. So when I asked what it could have been from I was told that they could have been done from any harsh activity. Now, I'm not one to suggest I've been lied to about that but I'm just curious as anyone would be. Does that sound like it's possible or do you think that maybe I've been fooled.

It is difficult to speculate without examination nor looking at the diagnostic studies. Liver brusing can be caused to trauma in the right upper quadrant area. Normally, symptoms like these are imaged with an ultrasound or CT scan. Lesions that are not clearly defined are normally further evaluated with an MRI.
I would also obtain liver function blood tests as well.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
