Hi there! 62F with autoimmune hepatitis with cirrhosis here. I know the pain. It is not just a pain it is so annoying. I have tried: heating pads, acetominophen (just 2), laying on my left side, holding my legs just right, you name it. It started last August and it has been my constant companion since then. My hepatologist says it is the membrane around the liver that is inflamed and causing the pain.

I started taking myfortic about 6 weeks ago. The pain has decreased significantly. It is not gone, but it is much easier to tolerate.

What do your labs look like? AST? ALT?

Can you describe the pain? And is it located in the front upper abdomen area or more directly on your side or back?

The best way to describe the pain is like I did a thousand situps and my abdominal muscles are overworked. Or a stitch you get in your side from running.
