pain medication for HCV liver & arthritis pain
by sharonlm, Jun 25, 2007 12:00AM
I have non-responsive HCV with cirrhosis along with chronic pain in liver and in joints. I have tried Ultram ER 100mg, Ultram 50 mg, Naproxen EC 500 mg 2 x day, and Plaquenil all with no avail. Now Hydroco/Apap 7.5 2 x day which works but causes liver pain. It also indicates right on the RX that it may cause serious liver damage, which I certainly don't need. Any suggestions on an acceptable pain medication not metabolized by the liver? Also, I am considering a new maintainance Infergen treatment for the HCV to keep it at a low viral load. Any input on this? This is in a trial stage right now from what I was told. I am not sure whether I should consider it. Is increased liver pain expected with cirrhosis? Any input on a supplement called Liv.52/Livercare by Herbal provider.com.
