Shoulder Pain (Right side)
I am in my second week of treatment. I am at work and have a whiplash like pain in my right side of my shoulder and neck that is limiting the movement of my head it hurts so bad?? I had a similar pain in the same place after my biopsy, so I associate that with my liver??
The right shoulder pain associated with hep C should not hurt with a change in position. It sounds more like muscle pain to me. When the liver causes pain in the shoulder it is because the liver is inflammed and is pressing on the capsule it sits in, which shares a nerve with the diaphragm. That nerve is what causes the pain. Hope you feel better soon.
