Liver biopsy months ago, got new pain which has not gone away. pain has stayed at constant level, hurts more with movement. doctors are stumped.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain at site of bx?: need a bit more info - percutaneous, transjugular biopsy? have you had imaging tests after the biopsy? a bleed under the capsule and stretching/ nerve pain could certainly cause symptoms like this. could also be musculoskeletal or your IBS and totally unrelated. can you share more details?
