Paul was in the hospital jaundice Thanksgiving of 2007. The doctors said he would only make it for another year but he is doing okay on 9 different pills and regular visits to the doctor.

dear Paul,angie from australia,hope you are still doing well,do you have any treatment for pain relief?my daughter has cirrhosis and back and neck pain ,just wondered if you have been able to get pain relief ,best wishes Angiex

Paul has been prescribed Tramodol for pain. Finding a pain reliever for a patient with a weakened liver is tricky. Doctor's choice has to be one that does not do liver damage. In this country it is hard to get anything decent for pain because they have demonized Codein. It is ridiculous! I do not think the gov't should tell me what to take for pain! Tramodol is easy on the liver and relieves pain. NO ASPIRIN.
