Doubtful.: Hepatitis C, whether acute or chronic, rarely causes pain. I would say that it is more likely that your pain may be related to your heavy alcohol use instead. Congratulations for quitting alcohol! It sounds as though it may be the best thing you ever did for yourself. I would follow up with your liver doctor for further evaluation of your liver and of your pain. Good luck.
