Hepatitis C ,Pain and High Blood Pressure

by dina57, Jun 02, 2009 09:27AM
I have been dealing with hepc for over 9 years, I have now encounter high blood pressure.  When my pressure goes up I experience legs, arms bone pain in my joints and muscles.  My upper stomach seems to bloat and have sharp pains shooting through my liver.  Is there any way to relieve this pain other than the oxycodone 15mg?

Hi Dina,

Thanks for your post. I just realized, after reading this, that I experience the same thing. For example, today I have the shooting pain, my upper abdomen is bloated, and my BP was pretty high at the doctor today. I have never realized there may be a connection. I just finished up treatment, so my body is a mess right now, but this is something I have experienced since my HCV diagnosis (and before, but didn't know what was going on). I wad going to say I had the high BP first, but in fact I have probably had HCV over 20 years....I merely had the high BP diagnosis first. I got my HCV diagnosis just over a year ago and can't seem to get my BP under control.

I have also experienced the bone/joint pain, but I assumed it was just treatment related. I will have pay more attention now and see if there is a connection there as well. I wish I knew how to ease the pain, but my docs prescribed me oxycodone as well...which I am trying to avoid.  

Hopefully someone will have some input :o)

Take care,
SNG
