Hi all

Well seeing my consultant next thursday. Had my bloods done.

My legs and feet are in so much pain. Awaiting to see what he can offer as my doctor said to keep moving and paracetamol.

I work fulltime and only sit down when in bed so that was no help.

Any advise

I suppose listen to your doctors, now I was on Paracetamol for other issues. I had a fine liver, after almost a year of taking it, I had very bad drug induced liver injury/DIH. I'm not sure if Paracetamol is a good choice for somebody who already has an ailing liver. 10% of it is converted into NAPQI, your liver uses glutathione to metabolize it into a none toxic metabolite. If your liver doesn't have a sufficient glutathione storage, paracetamol could be harmful. I'd err on the side of caution with that one.
