What Causes Sharp Pain Around Liver Area?

I had a sharp piercing pain in my side, it felt like it was in my liver, or somewhere around that area. When I would try to sit down, my but and lower back would almost go numb. It only stopped hurting when I was in a curled up position, I couldn't even sit or lay down comfortably. What could this be?
