stomach and liver

[kingmstr531]

can high liver enzyme levels make your stomach hurt?

[Sir_Osis]

Well, he's half right - the liver itself has no nerve endings-or very few, but the sac it resides in sure does. When the liver swells, pressure is applied to that sack - and then one can feel pain.  This pain is pretty exclusively felt on the upper right side of your abdomen and as high as mid breast level - and maybe halfway between your lowest right rib - midway to your navel - but staying to the right side - and not the left

Even if your GB has been removed, the bile ducts in the area can still be inflamed and cause similar pain sensations to that of cholycystitis

If your unhappy with your Dr. - seek another

it must be from liver then because i dont have my gallbladder,the reason i asked was because i have a idiot primary doctor and when i asked him if it could make my stomach hurt he said no because its a main organ which is stupid because the heart is a main organ and when you have a heart attack you get pain sometimes.

Can it make your actual stomach hurt - well, no.  BUT You can experience bloating and a dull ache throughout your upper right quadrant due to pressure on your liver capsule.  If the cause is from a chronic infection of the gallbladder, that could maybe move toward your stomach and remaining G-I tract...I would consult a qualified MD on the latter (as my answer on the 2nd part is pure speculation)
