Your liver doesn't have any nerve endings inside of it, so your have no way of knowing if there's something wrong with it, unless it suffers a traumatic injury. So don't worry, the pain your feel isn't your liver failing, because you'd never notice it.

Hopefully everybody finds this reassuring.

Unless you have the misfortune to have refered pain from a bad liver. This includes feeling a horrendous sharp pain in your armpit and under your shoulder blade. I experienced this and thought I was having a heart attack only to find out I had a rather large liver tumor pressing into my diaphragm. Lucky for me it was benign but now I'm blessed with reliving that pain periodically when the weather changes. I really hope I don't have a heart attack down the road and ignore it thinking it's just normal for me.

I had very sharp heart pain scares for a month, and then I realized that my friend and I have been doing a running bit where we clap our hands very quickly and excitedly before eating really good food or buying tickets to a show, and the day after i stopped clapping like that, the sharp stabbing pain in my chest went away.

I tried sleeping differently, stretching, all sorts of things before I realize that I was just clapping too maniacally.

I once thought i was going to die and laid down in my kitchen for an hour... death never came so finally i had to get up and make dinner for me and my wife.

I'm glad I'm not alone.

I had it happen in the middle of the night the first time, took a shot of whiskey, accepted my death, then went back to sleep to die peacefully.

When this happens in the chest region, the fix is to take a painfully deep breath, hold it for 30 seconds while pushing down and out, and let it out. Fixed.

Happens to me all the time. My partner finally had it happen for the first time ever and thought he was dying, I laughed told him to do the above and that mf had the audacity to be surprised it worked. Asshole.

I didn't know the name for it until today, thanks. I get it once in a while.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

This has gotten me so many times.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Woah, i have exactly these symptoms

Came to make the same hip, new reference.

I’d hate to be in the same circle of hell as her

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, gallstones. Big ones.

I can't tell which organ it is so why worry? Could be the useless one.

[–] GlitchyDigiBun 13 points 2 years ago

The useless one will kill you if it decides to not be useless.

A couple months ago I had really bad heartburn that, at the time, I thought might be a heart attack. I always thought it was ridiculous anyone could mistake one for the other but, yeah, that's what eating curry too late in the day will do to you.

Reminded me of the third act of the movie Necessary Roughness.

Coach Gennero : Well, is it fatal?

Doctor : Indigestion? Only in Mexico

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

My fuckin' back just decided to put me to bed out of nowhere a couple of days ago. Basically no back problems before that, but I'm 100% sure it's 3+ slipped disks and no doctor will convince me otherwise.

(Tongue-in-cheek. But yeah.)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

My side sometimes randomly decides to hurt so bad I can't move when I'm sitting or laying down. There's times where I'm like, "Am I screwed?"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Sometimes. Had a nasty flu this year and got very dizzy when I stood up. Remember thinking that I should try not to fall in a way that my head gets hit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

This morning when I woke up, actually. Then I got rid of the poop and it mostly went away. I think i ate too much fiber.

Lol this actually happened to me a few minutes ago.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

You've lived a good life.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I have. It was appendicitis.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yes. Any day now...
