Pain; hep C: Where is the pain located? Upper right side where the liver is? Many pain meds are metabolized by the liver. If your liver is already compromised by the hcv, that may be the cause of your pain. Ask your doc about pain meds not metabolized by liver.

Hep c treatable: Please note that in vast majority of the patients, Hep C can be cured with medication. Please talk to your doctor. If you do not have one, to the nearest medical school and get examined by an infectious disease specialist.
