Jaundice is caused by a build up of bilirubin, that in itself is not thought to be painful but the underlying cause of the jaundice - biliary cirrhosis, pancreatitis, coagulopathy, renal and liver failure are all possible sources of pain and need to be further investigated.
Obstructive jaundice, is caused by an interruption to the drainage of bile in the biliary system - this type of jaundice causes pain from an inflammation or blockage in a duct or organ.
Jaundice and pain are symptoms of the underlying disease and needs to be treated as such.
