I'm only allowed paracetamol and it's not shifting the pain today.
It's not agonising just really uncomfortable under my right rib and right should blade area.
I'm seeing the consultant on Tuesday but was wondering if there is anything else I could do to ease it alittle.
Thank you xx
You'd have to speak to a medical professional about that. But importantly don't be tempted to take any more than the recommended dose of paracetamol.
Oh I won't Hun. Everything else makes me whoosy. So wouldn't even attempt too. Xx
distraction... ha ha... i mentioned aches and pains to consultant and basically got told there is nothing else i can take... as have mild hepatic e. so bit risky.
would ask though cause all are different.
im trying to save taking them if I can then have them at its worse.... not easy though is it.
i feel it more when I am more fed up or run down so not sure how to fix that. hope w can get some relief. cazer
I'm trying to keep busy it's just a night when everything seems 100% worse. Normally the pain eases but after my little bleep in Feb it doesn't want to go away. Xx
sorry to hear you are feeling so rough its just not good is it. its rubbish to put up with all this c... isn't it. hang on in there. best wishes cazer. x
i sit with my arm up above my head it raises my ribs and so makes a bit more roomy for liver... sounds silly but it helps me. cazer
Ha ha I'm so glad I'm not the only one who does this. It's like it's making extra room some how 😂.
😀👍
hey i have had to do this lately im glad i read this post. love grace xoxo
Sorry your feeling pain grace. Nothing seems to elevate it really but it's gone from painful to just being uncomfortable at the moment. X
thanks , im starting to burn every morning when i wake up and anytime during the day if iv been asleep and ive got pain all around the liver area again, its as though I've got stones again iv spent nearly all month in bed, I'm taking pain killers but the burning sensation is horrible, I'm glad that your pain has gone a bit. thanks for thinking of me thats really kind. love grace xoxoxo
i am knew to this site but like yourself i had the same problem. i was put on Tramadol a high dosage for a while then eventually my consultant at one hospital had to write 3 letters to another liver consultant, where in the end up i had to get my gallbladder removed due to gallstones. i had auto immune hepatitis cirrhosis of the liver. i see this message is 5 months old. i hope you are better now.
Hi Kate, I've just had another stint in hospital which finally gave them the go ahead to do a liver biopsy. So I'm now just in waiting. Hope you are doing ok. X
Hi brilliant news as a biopsy will put them in the picture. I'm not to bad today thanks. Let me know your outcome...
Take care
Kate 😊
Abolutely keep within paracetamol dose, I was wrongly told that I could take neurofen if really painfull. Sadly caused fluid retention, spontanous bacterial perrintitis, acsitise. Very poorly almost finished my liver and myself off. Have had a cirrose liver 20 years then hit by this. Pain was from a bakers cist on back of knee. Please follow Doctor advice.

I've been told to avoid neurofen so I do. Thank you though.
this could be gallstones. is the pain worse after eating? if so eat very small meals and no fatty meals or pizz;a or cheese or any creamy dishes. just plain food. let us know how you get on. love grace xoxoxo
Hi grace had my gallstones removed 5 years ago. In fact I think this is what has caused all this mess in the first place! Had them out then a few months had sepsis and it just goes on from there. 🙄
yes i had mine out 10 months ago i had a major operation and i am in bed where iv been for the last month on and off with the same pain i had before i got it out. i was just reading about reccuring gallstones. i will send you the link. love grace xoxoxo

you might have to type this in to google if it doesnt come up blue but there are many stories about people who have had thier gallbladder removed and more pain and more stones.
I use a heating pad sometimes when I don't want to take the pain medicine.
I have been using a hot water bottle but can't walk around with it all the time. I never thought of a heat pad thou. 🤔
I use it mostly when I'm sleeping, it's very soothing. I also use it for the back pain.
dont laugh try a sling ? could work
and raise your shoulder if you lie down
not laughing. good idea. its amazing the remedies we come up with when we are in desperate pain.
I had to use my heating pad last night. The first 2 days after chemo I really can't sleep because of the steroid in the antinausea medicine . Had to take my oxycodon and 2 benadryl . Last night was the best night of sleep that I've had in weeks !
