I dont know much regarding the dark stools. However, for the ache around ur liver area, you have to be aware of the immune activity your body is doing through several unsuccessful fights to clear the virus from your liver. We all have those aches every now and then. Over time this can lead to liver damage and risks for a host of other things. Which is why we are always advised to have an ultra sound, fibro scan etc to keep monitoring. Aches can also be as a result of fatty liver, as an enlarged liver tries to contain itself within a now confined space. So a healthy life style and a healthy diet is very important. If you imrpove your diet, and your liver is less fatty, over time you will find those aches gradually dissapear, as several people on this forum will attest to. A healthy lifestyle is key
