I have been addicted to Vicodin and used to take it for five years

I now stopped and have been clean for one week.  My right side hurts and has been for three weeks.  I went to the doctor and he said my SGOT is 50 and SGPT is 87. My bili is 2.1.  
I am worried I have done irreprable harm to my liver.  I stayed around 6 Norco per day for five years.  10/325.  
One every four to six hours.
I am miserable now. Detoxing and right side pain.  I cry frequently.  The doctor wants to do an Ultra Sound of my abdomen and liver area.  What do any of you think might be wrong??
Help.
