My doctor hit my side to check my liver, it hurt really bad. Is that a sign of liver disease or something?


During a physical the doctor said he was going to check my liver and he hit on my side (not hard at all). He said it shouldn't hurt and I told him it didn't because I couldn't fail the physical (I'm in the Marine Corps). What was he checking for? Should I see a doctor?

Hopefully he did some lab work to check your liver function. If those are elevated then he'll let you know and where to go from there. Hope everything is okay!



God Bless the Marines!
