Has anyone had pain on right side?????
Hi there...everyone. Hubby has been doing tx for about 2? years. Last week he went off tx. For the last two days he has been having very sharp pains under his rib cage on the right side which goes to his back...pain in should and neck area, too.
He finally call doc and he set up ultrasound & bloodwork.
If it gets worse, we are heading for the hospital.
Just wondered if any one had withdraw sides or pain like this.
Thanks....
And a very happy Holiday Season to all of you,
Shebee

Cheers and hope you feel better soon!

is he off tx. now or just taking a break? did he respond?
many of us with liver disease also have gallstones. around christmas we may eat more fat which for me can cause pain around liver area or nausea. when i get it i try to adhere to a strict diet avoiding saturated fats. even cut back on the "good oils" for a few days. just my .02 worth.

We are off to the hospital for a ultrasound scan. I think it is gallbladder, too...after doing a lot of reading.
Last time he was checked he was hep free...he is doing bloodwork today. I'll keep you posted.
Lots of Love to you All,

Is it cholecystitis (inflamamation of the gallbladder)?
I'm really glad this topic came up. I've been having upper right quadrant pain off and on for years. It's gotten worse since I finished tx on 10/20. Never thought it could be from gallstones or gallbladder inflammation, just thought it was the hep. I'm going to call my GI and see about getting my gallbladder tested : )
I just found this description of gallbladder symptoms:
"The most common symptom of gallstones is abdominal pain in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen. The pain is often described as a continuous, dull ache. It usually is moderate but occasionally can be quite severe.
The pain may:
- Develop suddenly and radiate to the center of the upper abdomen (epigastric area) or to the right upper back or shoulder blade. It's usually hard to become comfortable; moving around does not make the pain go away.
- Prevent you from taking normal or deep breaths.
Last 15 minutes to 24 hours; 1 to 5 hours of continuous pain is common.
- Begin at night and be severe enough to wake you. It may or may not occur after meals."

ok...hubby is better. I have researched and decided that it is his gallbladder. TOO Much JUNK FOOD. The ultrasound looked perfectly normal. (THANK GOD!!!)
He is going to do a liver flush...in moderation. I'll let you know if that helps. However...no bad fats for him! LOL!
Lecithin (spell????) help with the gallbladder...Just one more pill.
P.S. He did blood work and heptimax. Wouldn't it be great if he were hep free?????...and stayed that way?
Best wishes to you all..

What about aching/pain/discomfort in mid-abdomen, just under navel that comes and goes. Is this related in any way?
I finally figured out how to spell it! I have been prone to autoimmune problems with HCV and beleive this is part of it. As you can see there are other HCV associated problems with this dx. LL

Yes I had pain on my right around to my back. It was dx as Choncondritis??? I'll have to look it up to be exact on the spelling. There is someone here who knows what it is so I hope they will chime in. I just can't remmeber who. Sorry. It's to do with inflamation. Of coarse I can't tell you if it's the same. I never had it until tx. It started on the right side for quite some time then was on the left also and got very sensative to touch in the back area. I am off tx and it is gone now but I stopped all activities to let it heal. LL
Interesting that you should mention pain on the right rib cage. I've been having the same thing, but i'm not on any treatment, so I couldn't answer your question.
