liver
I'M HAVING BAD PAINS ON MY RIGHT SIDE BY MY RIB CAGE AND I HAVE BEEN TO THE HOSPITAL TWICE LAST YEAR AROUND SEPTMBER AND THEY DID A CT SCAN AND X-RAY AND DID BLOOD TEST THE TEST CAME BACK NEGATIVE AND ON THE CT SCAN IT SHOWED THAT MY LIVER WAS INFLAMMED. BUT NEGATIVE FOR HCV. SO THEY GAVE ME BENYTAL AND SAID I NEED TO SEE A SPEALIST. I DIDN'T GO SEE ONE. NOW IT HAS STARTED TO HURT AGAIN SO WHAT DO YOU THINK.
Most people have had the experience of a muscle or joint hurting and being told "it's just inflamed, it should heal in a month or two.". Liver inflammation is not the same kind of thing. It needs to be taken much more seriously. It can be caused by a number of things besides HCV, but all the possibilities that I am aware of are serious. You need to see a hepatologist (a liver specialist) and get a thorough evaluation to determine what is causing the problem. Don't delay any more.
I think you should do as they said and go see a specialist......... Were not doctors here, good luck.
