Does anyone know why my husband would have painful spots appearing on the sole of his foot?

My husband has end stage liver disease, listed for transplant, also has Hep C. The spots are painful and have appeared almost like corns on the bottom of his foot. His skin has become even more yellow than before... Very worried....

If your husband 's liver problems relate to Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency there is a painful skin problem associated with it know as Panniculitis. Perhaps he should be checked for both.

Alpha 1 is not very often tested for and it is possible to have more than one liver damaging disease.

My husband has decomposed liver disease he had a massive bleed on hogmany and nearly died . This is his 3rd stay in hospital. They removed 23 litres off fluid from his stomach this time. He maybe getting home next Tuesday but as he can hardly walk we have not been offered any help. Has anybody else been in the same position.

Dear Hubbie2,

You must post this on the main site... This post is about 4 years old...

I am sure you will get lots of support from the main site...

This must be awful for you... I hope that the docs can support you...

Yours truly,

Pear
