Brief Answer:
Could be, but liver abnormality can be confirmed only by palpation and USG

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. It could be a liver issue (but that will present with other symptoms as well like yellowing of skin or eyes, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, weakness, fatigue, etc.), but not all these symptoms will be present. The pain could be related to a liver abnormality, but we will have to wait and observe to suspect that.

As for a pulled muscle, the pain starts subsiding or even gets better after a warm compress over the region, so you could try that. I would also like to ask if you have any irregularities in your digestion, bowel movements, gas, abdominal bloating, etc.?

I look forward to hearing from you in order to help you further.

Best wishes. :)

Brief Answer:
Ruling out liver abnormality and gastric issues; most probably muscle pull

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir.

Then a muscle strain is more likely, go about a warm compress application for about a week and also try not to strain the region, or lift objects. Also go about an ultrasound examination during your next doctors visit to rule out any internal abnormalities.

Please feel free to write to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.

Best wishes.
