So the last three months or so. I have had pain and tenderness on the left side of my torso, from my ribs to my hips.

I was terrified that my liver was failing from all the dang meds im on or something.

So i went to the doctor today, and explained my fear, and how i was sure something was going on with my liver, and went on and on and on.....

Until he stopped me and explained my liver is on the other side of my body...

Boy did i feel silly.

Anyways he said its likely just muscle pain from the fibro and that unless it gets severe i shouldnt worry about it.

I know how you feel and after living with RA & Fibro I have learned not to worry over every pain or discomfort I suffer through.... not a life one wants but the life I have been given.

Don't feel bad...I went to the ER convinced I had a ruptured appendix because I had intense pain on the left side of my stomach and the doctor patiently told me umm you would be hurting on the right side. I felt stupid and he told me it was just because I was constipated. LOL
